Students will work towards becoming literate. They will practice their emerging skills, knowledge and understandings in all forms of communication.

Decodable texts

Decodable texts are specifically written for beginning readers as they are developing their blending and segmenting skills and their knowledge of the alphabetic code. Decodable texts:

• support students as they practise by using a continuous meaningful text
• contain a very large percentage of words that incorporate the letter-sound relationships that students have been taught
• increase in complexity as the student learns more of the phonetic code.
