MATATAG WORKSHEETS AND LESSON EXEMPLARS
Leveled Readers help children practice reading. The books are grouped by difficulty, with longer sentences and harder words as levels increase. Children may use pictures and context to help them read, which supports reading fluency and understanding once basic phonics skills are in place.
Decodable Books help children learn how to read. The words are chosen so kids can sound them out using the phonics skills they’ve already learned. These books are especially helpful for beginning readers because they build confidence and teach children to rely on letters and sounds not guessing.
