Decodable Books!

Funded Jan 22, 2022

My students were so excited when the boxes of books arrived in our class. After sorting through the books and organizing them, I have been able to use our new decodable books. I use the books in small groups to help with the skills each group is working on.

I love these books because our school does not have many decodable books, especially for students that are lower in reading. Some of the books that I got from this project are very simple with only a few consonant letters and one short vowel. This really helps my struggling readers learn words with short vowels and be successful in their reading. Since my lower readers are more successful when they are reading now they are not as frustrated and are still working hard to learn how to read.

I also received nonfiction decodable books from this project. These books are wonderful because my students are working on their reading skills but are also exposed to nonfiction books as well. As the skill levels build my students in those groups are exposed to other nonfiction books that help them learn and spark their interest in reading more.

These books have really helped me implement what I have learned recently about the Science of Reading. I know my student will be successful and learn better how to read because of these books that we have received. It will be wonderful to use these books year after year. Thank you for your support.”
