Decodable readers, also called decodable books, decodable texts, and decodable readers readers, play a major role in reading instruction. Considered a key part of a structured literacy approach, decodable books are used to help beginning readers build skills and confidence . They are sequential in nature and contain words made of letter-sounds and spelling and morphological patterns that students have been explicitly taught, as well as a small number of high-frequency words with difficult or unexpected spellings that make the text more readable. Vocabulary in the text expands as students learn new parts of the alphabetic code.

• Instructive: They support a curriculum with a defined scope and sequence that builds from simple to complex with built-in spiral review. Across Grades K-1, key areas include Short Vowels and Consonants, Less-Frequent Consonants, Long Vowels, Advanced Vowels, and Blends and Digraphs.
• Comprehensible: The vocabulary and sentence structures incorporate natural-sounding speech and sentence patterns.
• Engaging: The texts are fun, interesting, and informative, with vivid design—worth reading, talking about, writing about, and rereading to develop fluency.
