The Power of Decodables in Learning to Read: Solid Strategies for Teaching

While learning to read, our youngest students struggle to connect speech sounds to print on the page. Achieving this skill can be challenging, yet research proves the value of using decodable texts at this critical stage of literacy learning.  

Decodable texts allow students to encounter words they have the skill set to sound out and read independently. Not all texts marked ‘decodable’ are truly that, leaving teachers to hunt for and evaluate the best of the myriad offerings on the market. Join our experts for this informative presentation as they shine a light on the facts and best offerings regarding early reading instruction and the use of decodable texts.  

In this on-demand webinar, Laura Stewart, Chief Academic Officer, and Joni Maville, Director of Content Development, present information that you can immediately apply to your teaching, including:  

  • Why use decodable texts—and how 
  • The importance of alignment to the curriculum when choosing decodables 
  • The critical nature of building upon phonics skills taught in earlier lessons 
  • How a strategic design reinforces effective decoding habits 
  • How our unique ‘flip format’ helps students build skills and overcome confusion 

Plus, they introduce 95 Decodable Duo™  and share how these texts align with the K-1 scope and sequence of 95 Phonics Core Program®.
