Loved by Teachers and Students
Don't take our word for it. Here's what users have to say about using Decodable Reads.
- “Game changer for my groups!”
This tool has been a game changer for my groups! I had been looking for ways to increase student buy-in in my classroom so when I found Decodable Reads I decided to give it a try. My students are so motivated by getting to choose what their reading passages are about! And I love how easy it is to select specific targets based on individual student goals.
SSusan HSmall Group Tutor - “10/10 literally the best thing ever!”
10/10 literally it is the best thing ever. Because you get to make the stories out of your own imagination out of your own ideas. The one thing that could be better is if you could create more stories. (We promptly made more stories)
PPatrick5th Grade Student - “They loved it!”
We are making stories in my 5th grade groups today. Now that we have the printables, it is the first time I am really including them fully in the process and they loved it! They were asking if I can download the app on their iPads and then they showed their teacher the sugary pizza story.
