Decodable Books for K-1 Students that Engage and Captivate
Our collection of high-quality, research-based decodable books, grounded in the science of reading, is thoughtfully crafted to support early literacy educators in building confident young readers in grades K-1. Each decodable reader is carefully aligned with a systematic phonics scope and sequence, helping early literacy teachers scaffold instruction as K-1 students move through Emergent, Early, and Beginner-Fluent reading stages. With text that is more than 70% decodable, K-1 students gain repeated opportunities to apply their newly acquired phonics skills and high-frequency word knowledge to authentic, meaningful stories and reading context. These vibrant narrative decodable books, with captivating, beautiful illustrations are full of relatable, meaningful childhood moments and diverse student representation, make reading engaging and approachable to all early elementary students learning to read.
From simple phonics skills like short vowel CVC words, to more complicated phonics skills like blends and beginning and ending digraphs, each set of decodable books, from Emergent 1 to Beginner Fluent, progresses from an array of simpler to more complicated phonics skills and high-frequency words, and builds on previous stages of phonics learning. Compelling and relatable stories, paired with a strict phonics scope and sequence, engage K-1 students while ensuring students effectively develop the foundational phonics skills and comprehension skills, as well as the high-frequency word knowledge, that will allow them to become proficient, independent readers as they progress through elementary school and beyond.
Our range of reading stages allow early literacy educators to match decodable books to students' current phonic skill levels, providing just-right challenge and reinforcement at students' current reading ability. Our decodable books allow K-1 students to practice learning long vowels, short vowels, consonant blends, digraphs, and a broad array of additional phonics skills, as well as high-frequency words. By integrating these decodable books into schools' early literacy and phonics curriculum, educators can empower K-1 students not only to decode effectively and build their foundational literacy and phonics skills, but to enjoy and develop an interest and love for reading and literacy.
