*You can learn more about my favorite decodable books in THIS video!

But instead of just handing them a decodable book to read, you want to follow these 5 steps to make sure they're actually READY to read the entire book on their own!

These steps are perfect for preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten littles to follow when learning to read at home.

*NOTE: The letter x actually represents 2 phonemes in 1 letter: /k/ & /s/. So the word Jax technically has 4 phonemes: /j/ /a/ /k/ /s/. However, when I'm teaching preschoolers, I don't go into this level of complexity for letter x, and instead I want them to simply say /ks/.
