Decodable Readers

These books will contain high frequency words that we may have not covered yet. Be sure to check the high frequency words list and underline these in your book so you can assist your student as needed. If they do not remember the high frequency word, you can give them the word. Do not ask them to "sound out" HFW's. I can provide you with a list of HFW covered in each level if you would like, please ask.

All links are to the publisher or author website. You may be able to find these books at better prices if you shop around. Don't forget to check the library and put in a purchase request if they do not have a title you are looking for.

Please note, I have not read all of these titles. Please use your own discretion when deciding appropriateness for your student.
