Welcome to the Children's Room 

"Reading should not be presented to children as a chore or duty.
It should be offered to them as a precious gift."

Decodable Books, Early Readers, and Early Chapter Books!

What are Decodable books?

Decodable books follow a logical order and help to build phonic knowledge gradually, allowing the readers the opportunity to practice making letter-sound connections.

Early Chapter Books

Early chapter books help readers transition from picture books to
traditional chapter books. 

Early Readers

Early Bird Readers are color coded stories for emergent readers. They contain silly, simple, and decodable stories, covering guided reading levels C-E.
