Excellent Decodable Books

These books are excellent for practicing r-controlled vowels. I love how each sound is separated in a book. This allows students to focus on one sound at a time. They are well written in a story format and have words that fit the focus phonics pattern. These books were perfect practice for my students and they love rereading them to build fluency.

Great Decodable Option!

The books and activities are wonderful! These are the books that my kids always grab when we have reading time. It has been fun to see the kids to progress through each of the stages and become stronger readers as they go. I’m so glad we found the Charge into Reading decodables!
