These books are specifically meant to be decodable. This means that our students will be able to sound out all of the words on the page. This is so important because it helps our youngest of readers actually start reading earlier. The funds that were given have also been used to purchase individual book boxes for each student. Each student will be able to store their decodable text and have access to dedcoable literature throughout the day.
