What are decodable texts?
-
- Decodable texts emphasize specific phonics patterns.
- They follow a progression, building on previously learned phonics.
- Decodable texts allow students to “tap out” or sound out the words. At least 85% of the words are decodable.

I bought the manual ($70), and I teach from that. I have all the UFLI stories run off for the entire program in the crates. Furthermore, I organized my Fundations cards, mouth formation cards, Dollar Tree sight word flashcards, and Orton-Gillingham grapheme cards via the UFLI teaching order. I also made a bunch of Elkonin boxes and put them in plastic sleeves to have the students write the heart words in. This has been the BEST teaching year ever due to this organizational system.
I HIGHLY recommend buying the UFLI manual for $70. It is well worth it and has more lesson specifics than the free slideshow lesson plans! As a reading specialist, this is the #1 resource I use!
