My Project

Heggerty decodable books will help transform my classroom by offering targeted, engaging reading materials specifically designed for Grade 1 students. These books are meticulously crafted to align with early literacy development milestones, ensuring each child progresses at their own pace while building essential phonemic awareness and decoding skills. Decodable books play a crucial role in supporting beginning readers by providing carefully structured texts that align closely with their current phonics knowledge and decoding abilities. These books typically feature words and sentences that can be sounded out using the phonetic rules and letter-sound correspondences students have learned. Other benefits of decodable texts include building phonics skills, increased reading confidence, and comprehension support. This targeted approach helps build confidence as students apply their growing phonetic skills to read independently.

By integrating Heggerty decodable books into our curriculum, students will experience increased confidence in reading fluency, enhanced comprehension abilities, and a deeper connection to the joy of reading.

Students will be able to read these books independently whether at home or in the classroom. The Heggerty decodable books will allow students to focus on understanding the text because they spend less cognitive effort on decoding individual words. Furthermore, I can select decodable books that match each student's phonics level, providing targeted support for individual learning needs.

This resource promises to create a supportive learning environment where every student can thrive academically and develop a lifelong love for reading from the very beginning of their educational journey.
