More decodables, more practice: explore hundreds of new decodable books on Epic. Learning to read takes practice - and having the right books makes all the difference. That's why Epic Creations Inc. is excited to add hundreds of new decodable books to Epic. Aligned to 23 popular literacy curricula, these collections make it easier to find books that match the phonics skills students are learning in class. Whether you're supporting small groups, independent reading or extra practice at home, you'll find engaging decodable readers that help students build confidence and strengthen foundational reading skills. What are decodable books? If you've spent any time exploring the Science of Reading, you've probably heard the term decodable books. Simply put, decodable books are texts that are intentionally written using phonics patterns students have already learned. Rather than asking beginning readers to guess words or rely heavily on pictures, decodable texts encourage students to use their phonics knowledge to read successfully. As students learn new phonics skills, decodable books give them a chance to put those skills into action. Instead of guessing at unfamiliar words, they can use what they've learned to read successfully on their own. For example, a student who has just learned short vowel sounds might read a story with words like cat, sit, run and big. As their skills grow, they can move on to books that introduce new sounds, patterns and challenges. These carefully designed phonics books help students: * Practice newly taught sound-spelling patterns * Strengthen decoding skills * Develop reading accuracy * Build fluency through repeated success * Gain confidence as readers Decodable books help students practice the phonics skills they're actively learning, building confidence one sound at a time. Why teachers use decodables. One of the biggest challenges in early literacy instruction is helping students transfer isolated phonics skills into actual reading. That's why so many educators incorporate decodable readers into their classrooms. Decodables provide meaningful opportunities for students to apply phonics skills in connected text. They can be used during: * Small-group instruction * Reading intervention * Literacy centers * Independent reading time * Take-home practice Hundreds of new decodable titles, organized for easy access. Every teacher knows that reading instruction isn't one-size-fits-all. Students learn at different rates, classrooms use different programs and sometimes kids simply need a little more practice before a new skill clicks. That's why Epic Creations Inc. has added hundreds of new decodable books to Epic, aligned to 23 popular literacy curricula. Its expanded collections make it easy to find books that support the phonics skills you're teaching, so students can get the meaningful practice they need. Less time searching for resources. More time spent reading, practicing and growing. Explore the new decodable collections. To find the decodable collection that matches your curriculum: * Go to the search bar on Epic * Search for "decodables" + your curriculum name (for example, decodables UFLI). * Select Collections from the tabs at the top of the search results. * Find and open the collection that matches your curriculum. Each collection is thoughtfully organized to support systematic phonics instruction, giving students meaningful opportunities to practice and apply newly learned skills. Here are some of the collections available on Epic: Books designed to support foundational phonics skills and early decoding practice. Ideal for students who are beginning to connect letter sounds and words. Additional opportunities for students to practice newly learned sound-spelling patterns while building accuracy and confidence. Engaging decodable stories that help students strengthen fluency and enjoy the satisfaction of successful reading. Supporting reading growth beyond the lesson. One of the best things about decodable readers is their flexibility. While they're often used during literacy instruction, they can also support reading growth throughout the day and beyond the classroom. Educators might use them for: * Literacy centers * Independent reading time * Early-finisher activities * Intervention groups Families can use them for: * Homework support * Reading together at home * Extra phonics practice * Summer reading routines Decodable books aren't meant to replace rich read-alouds, classroom libraries or authentic literature. Instead, they provide an important bridge between learning a phonics skill and using it confidently in real reading situations. More practice, more confidence. Reading growth happens one successful reading experience at a time. When students can apply the phonics skills they've learned to read a book on their own, something powerful happens: they start to see themselves as readers. Decodable books help create those moments of success, giving students the practice they need to build confidence and keep turning the page. Ready to explore?
