Decodable Readers

Decodable readers are books designed for teaching phonological skills (e.g. blending and segmenting), phonics, word recognition through orthographic processing and improve reading fluency.

They give readers the chance to practice matching up letters to sounds and building habits for analysing letters and sounds for unfamiliar words.
