Decodable readers play an important role in early literacy, giving children opportunities to apply the phonics knowledge they have been explicitly taught. Carefully sequenced texts help beginning readers develop the essential skills needed for reading success.
By introducing letter–sound relationships in a systematic progression, decodable books support students as they practise blending sounds, recognise spelling patterns and develop reading accuracy and fluency.
