Age-Appropriate Decodables We understand the importance of providing decodables that feel age-appropriate for students yet still build foundational skills. That’s why Our Stories Decodables feature rich stories that students can relate to while practicing critical phonics skills. Stories include a fantasy about a girl who meets a magical mermaid and learns how to be a better friend, a humorous fiction text about a girl who learns to embrace her unique hair, and a realistic fiction about a boy who finds connection at a barbershop.
