Decodables for the Upper Grades

My Students

Our students come to us knowing they need help, and they are willing to work hard each day. Over half of our Title I school is comprised of low income families. Our students look forward to coming to school to engage in learning experiences and activities each day with their peers and our staff.

Our staff is strong and creative, making our materials go far while looking for different ways help each learner.

We encourage our students to show their learning in diverse ways and to embrace their independence. We provide choices whenever we can and embrace a school-wide feeling of inclusion and togetherness.

My Project

Low level readers want to fit in like their peers - they want to be successful readers of chapter books. Currently, we have decodable books focused towards our Kindergarten through second graders, and our older students feel discouraged reading them in the classroom with their peers. They need a challenge.

We want to give our struggling readers decodable texts that match the skills we are teaching them to be successful readers.

These chapter books offer our students a high level of success in reading books that make them understand that they can read anything out there - including chapter books!
