Even though I'm now a literacy coach, I too have been caught teaching with leveled readers! In my first-grade classroom, when my students came across an unknown word, I'd have them guess by looking at the picture or skipping the word. I was creating a classroom full of great guessers - not great readers. But as we always say here at Literacy Edventures - when you know better, you do better!
I had a hunch this wasn't the best approach, but I also didn't know what else to do. That's when these decodables entered my life and saved the day! Today, we will chat about decodable texts, what they are, who needs them, and how best to utilize them in the classroom.
