A fabulous FREE online resource for decodable readers is provided by Flyleaf Publishing. The materials are organized by their Foundational Skills Scope and Sequence. If interested, they even provide "homework" that ties directly with the online book, such as, handwriting practice, reading words and sentences, spelling, and comprehension through writing and drawing pictures. To view, click on the homework button below the book. Thank you Flyleaf Publishing!
