Decodable books support independent reading and are the first step on the path to children reading any book they choose. These books focus on letter-sound relationships such as:
-
closed syllables or consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words (e.g. cat, sun)
-
consonant blends, digraphs (stop, chin)
-
long vowels with silent-e (e.g. make, nice)
-
vowel teams (e.g. boat, tie, bee)
-
r-controlled vowels (e.g. car, sister, fork)
-
consonant-le (e.g. table, sprinkle)
With decodable books children use their phonics knowledge to read instead of guessing, relying on pictures or skipping words. As kids learn more of the alphabetic code, more books will become decodable and they'll move on to more and more complex letter-sound patterns.
