Decodable Text by Louisa Moats
Decodable books are important because they help children practice reading using the letter sounds and patterns they’ve already learned. Instead of guessing, kids learn to sound out words, which builds confidence and real reading skills. This strong foundation helps them become more fluent and independent readers over time.
