Decodable Books for Kids

Here are some great options for decodable books for home or school. Decodable books are an important source of practice for beginning readers. As students learn to decode and spell words, having texts that use those patterns consistently gives them focused practice with the skill. Using decodables, students can turn their attention to fluency and comprehending the story.

Some students move through the decodable stage quickly and move on to reading any book they choose. Others, including students with symptoms of dyslexia, need extended practice with books that follow the patterns they are learning. For those students, it’s great to have options!

By using decodable books, kids with symptoms of dyslexia can learn to read in a systematic way that makes sense. Decodable books are written with carefully selected vocabulary that students have learned to sound out.
