Accessing print text is an incredibly important step when learning a second language. Our truly decodable teaching materials and books offer students the ability to learn and associate letter sounds (phonemes) with the letters (graphemes) practising one combination at a time. This collection supports teachers in intentionally and explicitly teaching phoneme-grapheme correspondence without high frequency words. As modules progress, each builds upon the previous module, only including letters previously taught. Students never encounter a sound-letter combination they haven’t already learned which builds their confidence and abilities in reading.

It is important to also note here that DécodeHabile is not a reading and writing program, but a support and a collection of texts.  It is a supplementary resource to provide practice following systematic, explicit and intentional teaching of grapheme-phonemes and phonological awareness. Teachers will need to provide instruction and additional practice in encoding.
