What are decodables?

Decodables are short texts, typically less than 100 words, specifically crafted to support developing readers with words that they can decode using their phonics skills.

The new ReadWorks decodables are all nonfiction, a rare and significant addition to strong early literacy instruction. The decodables were written and designed to adhere to various phonics curricula, such as Fundations, because teachers need supplemental resources that can be easily added into their instruction.
