Decodable Reading Materials

This collection features decodable texts, books and text generators. This collection has been designed to provide reading materials to enhance foundational reading skills. Keep in mind that a book becomes truly decodable only when students have been explicitly taught the skills required to read a specific book. Optimize students' learning experience by aligning these materials with the scope and sequence of your instructional plan, ensuring a smooth incorporation of targeted learning. We hope these decodable books support you and your students in your Structured Literacy journey!

Beginning Reading Instruction (BRI)/Advanced Reading Instruction (ARI) is a highly researched, and simple reading program that helps children learn to decode.

A teaching guide, along with the three sets of books, and the booster set (extra practice) are all you need to begin teaching a child to read. Additional materials, such as tests to make sure a child has mastered the skills after they complete each set, and ways to keep track of progress are included.

Each book set offers a drop down menu featuring the book, suggestions for looking through and discussing the book and story questions.

Countdown Decodable Passages (beginning with CVC)
Rating
0.0 stars

From the document:
"The Countdown Passages are strictly controlled stories that align with the phonics skills and Heart Words taught in Countdown. Aside from the
Heart Words in the passages, all of the words included are decodable according to the Countdown Scope & Sequence; however, due to the use
of some Heart Words that have not been explicitly taught in Countdown according to the guidelines described below, we consider the passages
to be “strictly controlled” rather than completely “decodable."

There are 12 fiction passages: one for each unit in Countdown, beginning with Unit 17. The passages provide students with longer, connected-text
opportunities to apply the skills they are learning in Countdown. In the Countdown workbook, students practice reading words, phrases, and
sentences. With the Countdown Passages, students extend their practice to longer sections of text. As students develop mastery and automaticity
with the skills taught in Countdown, the Countdown Passages can be used to reinforce these skills, to provide opportunities for practice, and,
ideally, to build fluency. Students will also gain confidence as readers. Reading text controlled for the specific skills students have already
learned allows them to read with success, leading to confidence and the willingness to tackle more difficult text in the future."
