Decodable Books


Title: "A Tap and a Pat"
Author: Lili Henderson
Illustrator: Chris Baldwin
Publisher: Learning Page
Publication Date: 2005
Rating: 5/5

The decodable "A Tap and a  Pat" is a decodable that focuses on the consonant T through a story about Pam and her dog Pat who are sitting on a mat. I give this decodable a 5/5, because I think this is a cute decodable for children to learn from since it's about a girl and her pet dog.




Title: "Don and Dots"
Author: Veronica Angel
Illustrator: John Kastner
Publisher: Learning Page
Publication Date: 2005
Rating: 3/5

The decodable "Don and Dots" is a decodable about the consonant Dd. It's about a little boy Don who puts dots on lots of things. I give this decodable a 3/5. The short plot line is cute and the images are funny. My only concern is that there are a lot of words on each page, which may be difficult for a child learning to read. 



Title: "Big Bad Bat"
Author: Veronica Angel
Illustrator: Bill Dinardo
Publisher: Learning Page
Publication Date: 2005
Rating: 4/5

The decodable "Big Bad Bat" is about two cats who are trying to catch a bat. This decodable has a lot of words on each page, so it may be difficult and confusing for a new reader to read. I do like the images, though, and I think that children would find the plot line funny. The pictures are slightly outdated, though.

  1. Reading A-Z is a great resource for parents and teachers. Focusing on one or two simple skills at a time helps new readers build up their reading fluency.

  2. These books look very fun and sound easy for beginning readers to read. Reading A-Z is also another great resource to use in the classroom!
