Decodable Texts Ready4Reading decodable texts provide students with coherent and focused exposure to and practice with the targeted sound and spelling patterns they have been directly taught based on the Ready4Reading scope and sequence. Because all texts are highly decodable, students are able to efficiently recognize and read words without guessing or relying on extraneous cues, and with increasing confidence and feelings of success. Ready4Reading decodables were designed to spark student interest and curiosity and cover a range of high-interest topics across nonfiction and fiction. All the decodable texts in Ready4Reading support teachers with high-leverage instructional routines.
Ready4Reading: Practice and Apply Decodable Text Formats
Short Reads Decodables: Short, engaging informational and fiction texts on two-sided Student Cards with colorful photos and/or illustrations provide rich opportunities to practice decoding skills. Read to Know Text Sets : 16-page decodable informational and fiction texts with colorful photos and/or illustrations build knowledge and guide students to apply their decoding skills.
High-Frequency Words Instruction for teaching high-frequency words allows teachers to introduce relevant high-frequency words at the point of use. Teachers point out familiar sound-spellings that have been learned up to that point and may make students aware of other regular or irregular sound-spellings. Comprehension Prompts The comprehension prompts included in decodable text lessons help expand group discussions, encourage oral language development, and strengthen students’ understandings. Prompts encourage students to think more deeply about what they have read. Informational Texts and Knowledge-Building With informational text integral to Short Reads Decodables and Read to Know Text Sets, students are introduced to science, social studies, and math topics. Students explore the topics, broaden their content knowledge, and expand their vocabularies. Fiction Texts Students encounter fiction of different genres as they read the decodable texts. In the stories they meet new characters, explore different settings, and follow simple, and then more involved, plot lines. Fluency The decodable texts may be read and reread to build fluency. Students are encouraged to reread texts on their own and with partners. Repeated readings help them gain automaticity and read with expression. Writing Write About Reading features and Respond & Write activities provide prompts to encourage students to think about what they have read and share their ideas in writing. Prompts are labeled with different modes of writing. Spelling Students have opportunities to practice their spelling skills along with their reading. The spelling patterns they practice align to the system's scope and sequence.
