Decodable books are a type of reading material specifically designed to help children develop their phonics and decoding skills. These books use a controlled vocabulary of words that follow specific patterns of letters and sounds that have been previously taught. Children can use their knowledge of these patterns to decode, or sound out, new words as they read.  Children can attend to the text and words, without needing to guess or predict, ensuring that students obtain the skills needed to become a good reader.
