![]()
I’ll share first… In my classroom the majority of my students are utilizing decodable texts and working to connect the phonetic skills we’ve worked on together to the texts they’re reading. It’s a winning situation because the text is controlled for the skills they have learned. ![]()

But, (and don’t throw 🍅 at me) I do use some other texts with some of my students - including leveled texts. Some of my students have such a strong foundation in decoding that the added challenge of MANY phonetic patterns in one text is perfect for them. ![]()
