Featuring The Digital Interactive Reader –– A Fluency Must-Have

Our digital interactive reader allows students to listen to fluent reading and/or record themselves reading and replay the book audio. Teachers can assign individual books to each student to match their instructional needs, ask them to record themselves reading the book, then access/listen to their audio file from the teacher dashboard when it is most convenient. No more trying to find time to hear every child read aloud each week. Instead, teachers can focus on one-to-one time with the students who need individualized support while still checking in on fluency for the remainder of students. It is the best way for teachers to buy back their time when it comes to assessing fluency.

Don't Just Take Our Word for It ...

“As the instructional coach at my school, we just purchased the second-grade set. They are fabulously aligned to the second-grade scope and sequence. The kids and teachers LOVE them. These are by far my favorite decodables.”

Mandie Guinn
Instructional Coach

“My school bought the physical copies to enhance our UFLI implementation. Teachers love them and say that kids are more engaged. Lit coaches liked them because they came with a title (or a few) aligned to each of the UFLI lessons.”

Ryan Parker
Teacher

“We recently purchased the entire green set for our teachers, and I purchased the digital subscription to use with my students. Worth every cent! The kids love the books, and with the digital subscription, they can read the book on their devices during e-learning. ”

Stephanie Buchanan
Teacher

“Love. Love. Love these. Paired with the UFLI lesson slides together they hit all six strands of the reading rope. Also, I love the visuals and diversity of characters. I teach middle school ESL, and they are not too babyish like a lot of other resources.”

Sara Bunker
Teacher

“We love our digital subscription. They have the aligned green and orange books that align with UFLI's scope and sequence. We use these with our older students who we use UFLI for intervention, as they were longer and more interesting.”

Aynslee Sararas
Teacher

“We use these in K-2 at my school, and we love them!! Love that they are aligned with UFLI and easy to find!”

FAQs

What makes Developing Decoders different from other decodable books?

Grounded in the Science of Reading research, our decodable books go beyond simple decodable sentences to include engaging stories with diverse characters and a mix of fiction and nonfiction genres. The content is carefully aligned to specific phonics scopes and sequences, making these books an effective tool for targeted practice.

What is the purpose of a decodable text?

Decodable texts serve as a crucial tool for early readers. They provide a structured way for students to practice the phonics skills they have been explicitly taught. This systematic practice builds fluency and confidence as students apply their knowledge of letter-sound relationships to new words. This systematic practice is key to developing skilled readers.
