Frequently Asked Questions

What are decodable books and how are they different from leveled readers?

Decodable books use only the phonics patterns a student has already been taught, so every word can be sounded out. Leveled readers rely on picture clues, memorization, and guessing — decodable books build real decoding skills instead.

What age or grade level are these books for?

Our books are designed for kindergarten through 2nd grade, typically ages 5–8. They're also widely used in reading intervention with older students who need to strengthen foundational phonics skills.

Do I need a phonics program to use these?

No — our books are organized by phonics skill level so you can pick up wherever your student is. They work alongside any structured literacy or Science of Reading–aligned program, or on their own.

Are the Spanish books translations or written originally in Spanish?

Our Spanish decodable books are written originally in Spanish, following a systematic phonics progression aligned to Spanish syllable structure. They are not translations of the English books.
