Teaching Beginning Reading Skills, Grade K
Introduction Image
Decodable Books give students important opportunities to practice applying the phonics skills they are learning. The systematic and explicit phonics they are learning helps them develop skills in recognizing words. Automatic word recognition and fluency, in turn, relates strongly to comprehension.

This course shows how kindergarten teachers provide systematic, explicit instruction in the skills and strategies necessary for students to be able to read Decodable Books confidently and independently.
