In DSB1, students in Kindergarten to Grade 2 learn to read and develop their love for reading through decodable books.
Decodable books are like training wheels for beginner readers. They are designed with simple words and patterns that match what the students are learning through their class-wide or small group phonics instruction. By practicing with these books, students further develop their segmenting and blending skills, making it easier for them to recognize words on their own. It supports building confidence and independence in reading. With decodable books, every word conquered is a step closer to reading success!
