Below is a list of resources that students and parents may find helpful.
Free Digital Decodable Books
As part of the New Curriculum for English Language Arts and Literature, we would like to highlight the new CBE Decodable Digital Library that is free for parents and students to access at home. This digital library will continue to be updated in the future. The purpose of decodable books is to help students who are beginning readers with word processing and sounding out (phonological and phonemic knowledge)
