According to literacy expert Wiley Blevins, a decodable texts are "controlled based on taught phonics skills," or a text where "the majority of words can be sounded out based on the sound-spelling relationships that students have learned." Reading these texts reinforces learned phonics skills and teaches students to pay attention to text while reading, in lieu of relying on picture clues .
