What NOT To Do When Using Decodable Texts

Decodable texts are great to use in Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade classrooms so that students are seeing phonics patterns in the context of reading. There are definitely some things to do, and not to do, when it comes to decodable texts though!
In this video, I’ll go through a few things to avoid doing when it comes to decodable texts!

Great points!

[@ThankfulForMercy]

Your suggestions are so helpful! I’m now continually making decodable texts for tutoring at-risk children 1st-8th grade, catered to each of their specific holes in phonics. I’m trying to incorporate your suggestions and teaching tutors how to use the texts well. Keep your suggestions (and great texts) coming!

[@learningattheprimarypond]

So wonderful! Best of luck to you :)

Do you currently use decodable texts with your students? Would love to hear about that in the comments!

[@heathervoyer3782]

I have used Flyleaf decodables.

Yes I do!

[@emilyjurski5827]

where do you get your decodeable texts from?

[@learningattheprimarypond]

They are all from my TpT store - www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Learning-At-The-Primary-Pond-Alison/Category/Decodable-Books-amp-Passages-505219

What about 1st graders who are bored and not focusing on words?

[@learningattheprimarypond]

I would really take a look at why they're bored - could the text be too easy or difficult? Or maybe the text topic isn't engaging?
