Learning to read is a fundamental skill that opens the doors to a world of knowledge and opportunities. However, for many students, this journey can be challenging, especially for those struggling with reading difficulties or dyslexia. Fortunately, the science of reading, coupled with the use of decodable texts, offers a powerful solution to help these students unlock the magic of literacy.

Decodable texts reinforce this instruction by providing opportunities for students to practice and apply what they have learned. This reinforcement is crucial for students with dyslexia, who often benefit from repetition and targeted interventions.
