My Project

Students in the early stages of reading, need to read decodable books. Decodable books allow students to try out their new sound and sight word knowledge. However, in order to become fluent and independent readers, they need to have access to lots and lots of these decodable phonics books.

Through this project, students will have access to new, engaging decodable books.

We have many students that need these books to gobble up! We look forward to sharing these books with our students to kick-start their reading lives.
