Discussing Decodables with the Literacy Team NSWDoE Literacy & Numeracy

Following the recent roll out of decodable texts to primary schools to support school's reading programs, the literacy team got together to discuss the effective use of these books for reading instruction. We talk about what they are, what their purpose is, how to select a text for instruction or independent practice and about the inclusion of other texts in reading instruction. Listen in to our discussion on effective reading instruction incorporating decodable readers.
