The research is clear. Systematic, explicit, and cumulative phonics instruction is the most effective way to teach children how to read words. The science of how children learn to read may be complicated but implementing it in the classroom doesn’t have to be. Language Foundations, Short Reads Decodables, and Read To Know Text Sets are each built on an easy-to-use framework that breaks systematic instruction down into four simple steps: Teach, Practise, Apply, Assess.

Short Reads Decodables are less intimidating than full print books. Two-sided cards give students a more accessible and manageable format to confidently practise newly taught phonics skills. Short Reads Decodables features a variety of diverse and engaging texts, helping support representation and inclusive classrooms.
