Q

Describe the rational for decodable texts?

A

VS LEVELLED BOOKS, decodable texts:
1) They’re phonetically decodable
2) Words are used within phonics level
3) Can use strategies for sounding out words
4) Irregular/more advanced phonics words are introduced gradually
5) Illustrations are supportive of text

Irregular Words (2 Types)
