What Are Decodable Books for Segmenting and Blending?
Segmenting and blending are two of the most essential phonemic awareness skills. Blending is the ability to push sounds together to read a word. Segmenting is the ability to pull a word apart into its individual sounds. Together, these skills unlock independent reading.
Every book uses only the phonics patterns students have already been taught. That means real decoding practice from page one, building fluency with every read.
