More About This Resource

These Science of Reading-aligned nonfiction decodable books with comprehension questions and explicit teacher lesson plans are the perfect resource to support your beginning readers. Each nonfiction decodable text is a phonics-based controlled text that contains target phonics skill words, previously taught phonics skill words, irregular high-frequency words, and select high-interest story words. The science of reading shows us that the connection between what our students learn in phonics and what they read is imperative for building a strong foundation in early reading.
