My students love the decodable books. They practice reading them with a partner everyday. 

The lesson plans have helped me organize my instruction and activities for each lesson. The games are fun and I send them home to play with their families. - Kelly

 

 

I am a special educator teaching children with specific learning difficulties (dyslexia). These materials are thorough, expansive and extremely engaging. I love the pictures, fonts, consistency, and quality. 

The kids I teach span across grade levels and have huge deficits in learning. These materials have helped them so much! I can see tremendous progress both in their reading and spelling performance. - Nandini

My students LOVE going to stations and small group using these materials. 

I have seen growth in their decoding, blending and ultimately reading. My stress level is down too and I don't waste endless hours browsing through resources. - Sonia

Scientifically Supported Instruction

Road to Decode®  integrates scientifically backed processes into every aspect of our program. It is backed by science, teachers, and students.

Explicit and Systematic 


The Road to Decode provides explicit, step-by-step phonics instruction, teaching students the relationship between sounds and letters in a clear, organized way. The program uses a planned sequence, ensuring students build on previous skills effectively.

Bear, D., Invernizzi, M., Templeton, S., & Johnston, F. (2023). Word Study for Phonics, Spelling, and Vocabulary Instruction (7th ed.). Pearson.

Use of Decodable Texts


We utilize decodable texts that are perfectly aligned with the phonics skills being taught. These texts are designed to match each student’s current level, allowing them to practice newly learned skills in context. This approach promotes reading fluency and ensures that students can confidently apply their decoding abilities.

Allington, R. L. (2013). What really matters when working with struggling readers. The Reading Teacher, 66(7), 520–530.

Multisensory Learning Techniques


Our program incorporates multisensory methods that engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways. By integrating techniques such as air writing, kinesthetic activities, and sound production practice, we reinforce sound-symbol relationships, helping students retain and apply their phonics skills effectively.

Birsh, J. R., & Carreker, S. (2018). Multisensory Teaching of Basic Language Skills. Brookes Publishing Company.

Orthographic Mapping


Our program incorporates strategies for orthographic mapping, where students learn to connect the sounds in spoken words to their written forms. This process is crucial for developing sight word recognition, enabling students to read fluently and with greater accuracy. By focusing on orthographic mapping, The Road to Decode helps students store and retrieve words more efficiently. 

Ehri, L. C. (2014). Orthographic mapping in the acquisition of sight word reading, spelling memory, and vocabulary learning. Scientific Studies of Reading, 18(1), 5-21.

Scaffolded Instruction


Road to Decode incorporates scaffolded instruction, where teachers gradually release responsibility to students. Educators model reading strategies and skills, then provide guided practice with feedback before allowing students to practice independently. This approach supports students at their current level while gradually building their confidence and competence.

Foorman, B. R., Beyler, N., Borradaile, K., Coyne, M. D., Denton, C. A., Dimino, J., et al. (2016). Foundational Skills to Support Reading for Understanding in Kindergarten through 3rd Grade. National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance.

 

Ongoing Assessment and Differentiation


Our program emphasizes regular assessment and differentiation to meet the diverse needs of all learners. By continuously monitoring student progress, we tailor instruction to provide additional support where needed, ensuring that each child progresses at an appropriate pace and receives targeted interventions when necessary.
