Starting the Year Off with a Fresh Take on Decodable Books
As educators prepare for a new school year, it’s the perfect time to refresh instructional practices, including the use of decodable books in literacy instruction. With their focus on phonics and decoding strategies, decodable books are an invaluable tool for fostering early literacy skills. Here’s how we can approach decodable books in innovative ways to set the stage for a successful and engaging school year.
Embracing Diversity and Inclusivity
This year, let’s prioritize decodable books that reflect the diverse identities and experiences of our students. Choose texts featuring characters from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and communities. When students see themselves represented in the stories they read, we foster inclusivity, cultural awareness, and a deeper connection to learning.

Leveraging Technology for Engagement
Harness the power of technology to boost reading engagement! Phonics Fun Decodables, available as eBooks with audio, enable students to sound out words and practice reading aloud, while platforms like Live Oak Media eReadalongs combine eBooks and audio to inspire a love of reading in young learners. By integrating these tools, we can ignite students' interest and enthusiasm for reading in today’s digital landscape.
As we embark on a new year, let's approach the use of decodable books with a fresh perspective, creativity, and enthusiasm. By embracing diversity and inclusivity, fostering collaboration and peer support, leveraging technology for engagement, and connecting decodable books to real-world applications, we can create a dynamic and enriching learning environment for our students. Together, let's ignite a passion for reading and lay the foundation for literacy success in the year ahead.
