![]() ![]() It’s rare that you find decodable books that actually impart knowledge, but Geodes has mastered this. I could hardly wait to read them when I opened the box. Geodes are truly lovely, incredible books. I am still a big fan of Flyleaf, but when I received a sample of Geodes, Flyfleaf lost its place as our most beautiful decodables. Districts are ordering packs for every student … what a great way to eliminate the reading summer slide! I also recommend Just Right Reader’s Take-Home decodable book packs. Definitely check out the e-library so you can see for yourself! (And when you’re putting together a wish list for new decodables, put these at the top!) This will quickly add up, but in my view these books are gems and worth every penny. Price: As I write this, the books are $5.75 when purchased individually. ![]() Great for: Readers in kindergarten, first and second grade I love how the author includes teaching tips in each book, as well as a page with the target phonics skill, decodable words within the book, and the featured high frequency words.īest of all, many of the books are available as free flipbooks online so you can try them for yourself! I was delighted to get my hands on these decodables! These books feature funny stories and diverse characters within the pages of sturdy little books. ![]() The second set of 15 books (for first grade) is just $22.99. Price: Crazy affordable! The first set of 14 books is just $19.99. Great for: Brand new readers in kindergarten and first grade I really think these sets are a must-own for anyone building up a decodable library for kids just getting started with reading. (Update: The I Read/ You Read books are now in full color!)Īs I write this, both the first and second sets are complete. Kids read the simple decodable text on the top, and adults build background knowledge by reading the connected text below. I also love, love, love the “I Read/You Read” books (see the one poking out above). In addition to the high quality stories, each book includes comprehension questions to ask before, during, and after the reading – PLUS a vocabulary lesson connected to the text. What a great find these books are! Jenae Crowley has written beginner decodables that actually tell interesting stories, and Caitlyn Ellis has added engaging black-and-white illustrations. ![]()
