Questions about this set

How do I know the books are really decodable?

Every word in every book and sentence is checked against the sounds taught so far. The few words that aren’t decodable yet are heart words, and each book lists them on page 2.

Will it fit the order I already teach?

It goes one sound at a time, from letter sounds in kindergarten to prefixes and suffixes in 2nd grade. A chart by sound pattern shows where each sound sits, so you can match it to the order you use.

What do I get after I pay?

An email with your download link, right after checkout. The files are PDFs for US Letter paper, in color and in black and white.
