Different kinds of books, serve different kinds of purposes.

For those who ask, “WHY decodables?” We appreciate this clear reply, “Decodable texts […] help children develop a sense of comfort in and control over their reading growth.” (Wiley Blevins, Choosing and Using Decodable Texts).

In other words...decodables EMPOWER children to feel SUCCESSFUL as readers, and that is plenty reason for us. 💪

It's been 2 months since the release of the Frog Series, our decodable readers for K-1 classrooms. Since that time, we've received wonderful photos from classroom teachers excited to share how they are using them in the classroom! 🐸📚

This month we want to again highlight WHAT decodable readers are and WHY they are important. Teachers, we hope you find these resources helpful, especially as parent-teacher conferences approach this spring!
