Collection: Picture Books

I am so impressed with these decodable books. I have purchased many different sets for my Title I reading groups through the years, but these are by far superior! The rich vocabulary presented in the books makes the stories interesting for the students (and me!) and is a great way to develop their vocabulary/knowledge while learning to read. I use UFLI for my instruction and these books follow the scope and sequence perfectly! Highly recommend!!

My students love reading these non-fiction decodables! They align well with the UFLI scope and sequence. Some decodables have words that my students are not able to decode yet, but these have very few words with unknown skills. Highly recommend!

These decodable books are a great resource for our dyslexia program.

These books are just what I have been looking for!

These books will be a great resource for our dyslexia program.

I was a lucky Instagram winner of a set of
Nonfiction decodables. I work in a Title I school district and Ii struggle to find nonfiction decodables. This set is great. My students enjoy the content at a level that they can read. I’ve been using them with my 3rd grade group. I love that we are building knowledge in our small group reading classroom! Thank you for these nonfiction books!

These books are FANTASTIC! They are perfect for students to be able to read about topics of interest to them. These books are well planned and thought out. They are full of facts for students to learn and expand their knowledge on these topics. These books are written with thought about the vocabulary so they are decodable and readable by students, but do not lose the facts and information. I cannot wait for my students to get to read each of these in small group and independently as I teach the units whole group. These are a perfect addition to a classroom library, small group sets, or at home reading!

We love these decodable readers. They are perfect for a beginner reader or one who needs extra practice. We have quite a few different beginning readers but these are by far my favorite. The illustrations, storyline, and quality are great.

An extra bonus is the downloadable resource pack that is the perfect accompaniment to the readers. I do wish there was at least 1-2 printed review books to tie everything in together at the end of each set. There is a story available to download from the website but I would have liked one included with the readers. Other than that these are perfect. I purchased the first four sets but will be purchasing the rest of the series.

Our first graders love charge mommy!!
Many of our kids came into the school year apprehensive about reading. I pull kids 1:1 to read with me and the children are now vying for a spot!!
These books are SOR aligned, engaging, and contain a great storyline - which is always a concern with decodable texts!
I would definitely pick them up if you're looking for quality books :)

As a K-2 Reading Interventionist/Instructional Coach, the classroom teachers I support are often asking if I can share any supplemental resources to use in the classroom. When a first grade teacher came to me asking for some ideas for one of her advanced readers, I knew the Charge Mommy Nonfiction Decodable Science Readers would be perfect! The word lists make it easy for teachers to identify the phonetic skills covered in each text, in order to be sure their students are actually ready to read the each book. In addition, the decodable readers cover concepts that align well with our district’s core reading comprehension program, making some challenging science concepts more accessible for students. I highly recommend these books and would love to see them in all of our first and second grade classrooms! Thank you, Charge Mommy!

Amazing set !!!! They’re easy yet complex in a way that’s intriguing for the child and makes them want to push through and finish it!!! Keep up the good work, charged mommy!

As a former Science teacher turned reading interventionist I love these nonfiction books for my students. These decodable books allow my students access to content knowledge that they may not have accessed before except through a read aloud. They feel empowered in their learning with these books! Thank you!!

Love these books!

From a pure reading perspective, we have gone through the Charge Mommy series (also love) but these are always focused on a specific phonics pattern. In these books, it’s decodable yet pulls from everything they have learned.

Also the book is divided up into chapters of about 4 pages or so. It makes it less daunting and provides very natural breaks to let your kid read and then you can talk about what they learned.

From a science perspective, these are great books. The content is actually very good at getting into interesting detail without being too long.

The pictures are beautiful and do a great job of supporting what they are learning and providing extra context and explanation.

Finally I doubt there are many decodable science readers. Non-fiction can be more daunting for kids. I think for all of the reasons above that these overcome that barrier and give kids more confidence in reading than being able to tackle fiction books can give.

100% recommend!

My students truly enjoy these books. They can access them easily due to the teaching they are doing. They do not mind reading them again and again, because they notice that they are becoming quicker each time. This review will be repeated for each stage, because it is true for each stage. My students are successful and can then move to other books with confidence!

I have not had the chance to use them yet, but in looking through them, they are beautiful, eye-catching! The pictures are just supportive enough for the more complex vocabulary to be understood. The features are perfect for the work that second graders need to complete within the standards, understanding nonfiction text. I think I will use them a lot with my second and third grade struggling readers to incentivize their learning.
