    I started using decodable books this year in first grade and really like them. It gives them extra practice on the phonics skills they are working on and high frequency words. I love the idea of giving them background knowledge of the subject they are reading about.

    Yes, decodable texts all the way! I am a firm believer and have been using them all year in first grade. Being a member of your Literacy Club has provided engaging decodable passages with complete lesson plans that I really appreciate. I am sure my students would love these Safari decodables as well because they love animals! (great photos!) Thanks for the reminder to share background knowledge prior to reading the text. Great tips Alison! Thanks

    This! After switching to Decodable Readers this year there has been a lot of talk about how it could eliminate the love of reading. In my opinion it has only given students more confidence and pride in their reading. However, I've also spent lots of time trying to take guided reading books and finding those specific phonics skills we want students to look at. I love the supports in the decodable passages that enable students to more easily focus on those phonics skills without the teacher having to give them every other word because "we haven't learned that yet." Thanks for sharing these ideas! I'm so excited for the path my students and I are on!

    Decodable! I already use decodable texts, but this is definitely helpful to know because I have students that are still struggling as readers and I’ll be able to differentiate based on phonics skills that each student needs help with. I like that these passages are broken down by certain phonics skill, and not just jumbled with a lot of skills they may not need to work on.

    I do currently use decodable texts in my first grade classroom. I am struggling with finding decodable texts that actually have the possibility to ask comprehension questions and introduce vocabulary. These safari decodables are going to be awesome to use with my small groups as well as whole class.
