Science of Reading Alignment:

The Developing Decoders Kit is built on the Science of Reading — the body of research that tells us how the brain learns to read and what instruction actually works. That means systematic, explicit phonics instruction with decodable texts that match what students have been taught. Every word in every book is decodable — no guessing, no memorizing, no pictures to rely on. Just real phonics practice that builds confident, independent readers.

Our decodable books are Reading League vetted — independently reviewed and confirmed to align with structured literacy principles.
