The national conversation highlighting the Science of Reading has prompted many teachers across the nation to ensure that students receive high-quality phonics instruction, building the foundation for reading. Decodable texts are considered an important application component of phonics instruction. And yet, teachers still wonder, “What might I do with these decodables?”

Decodables are powerful tools to provide ample opportunities for application, allowing for learning to cement. Decodables provide organic ways to infuse writing instruction, practice to develop fluency, and build vocabulary and comprehension. Through this edWebinar, educators:

• Discover routines and strategies to support classroom or small group instruction that includes decodable texts
• Engage with lesson ideas that build reading, writing, vocabulary, and comprehension skills, and more

This recorded edWebinar benefits K-3 teachers, curriculum specialists, reading coaches, and school leaders.
