We’re excited to announce the launch of our Guided Phonics + Beyond® Decodable Books! 🎉 📚 Aligned with the Science of Reading, these engaging, skill-based books help students apply their phonics knowledge while building reading confidence. Each set includes 10 fiction and 10 nonfiction stories—students read the text before seeing the pictures, promoting stronger decoding and comprehension skills. 💬 Educators are already loving them: "These are great decodable books for students. They are true decodables that tie to SOR. My students feel so successful each time they read one." 👩🏫 Developed by Tara West, the books follow a spiraled scope and sequence and include multimodal activities that reinforce previously taught skills. ✨ Empower your students with the tools they need to become confident, independent readers! 👉 Learn more here: bit.ly/GPBDecodableBooks
