Benchmark Education Company is a top provider of decodables, specifically designed to support early literacy development. Colorful, classroom books with teachers guides are supported with black-and-white, take-home decodables that can be used by parents and guardians to reinforce the skills that their children are learning in school.

Check Out These Take-Home Book Boxes

Missouri teachers at Hopewell Elementary School in the Park Hill School District developed an inexpensive tool for their classroom to deepen students’ engagement and ownership of the texts. By combining Benchmark's take-home decodables with the personalized touch of at-home book boxes, educators can further reinforce the foundational literacy skills that students are developing in school. These book boxes provide students with a curated selection of decodable readers tailored to their individual learning needs and interests, fostering a sense of excitement and motivation for reading outside the classroom.
The at-home book boxes complement Benchmark's decodable readers by offering additional opportunities for students to practice decoding words and building reading fluency in a familiar and comfortable environment. Parents and guardians can actively participate in their child's literacy journey by incorporating these resources into their daily routines, thereby strengthening the connection between home and school learning.

​
Take-home decodables ensure that students have consistent access to high-quality literacy materials beyond the classroom. This continuity in reading instruction supports the development of lifelong reading habits and sets students on a path towards academic success.

The FLEx (Focus Area: FLEx Early Literacy Resources) initiative provides funding to Missouri school districts to purchase early literacy resources for students and families. These resources include take-home decodable books!
​

Check out these creative Home Book Boxes from Hopewell Elementary School in Park Hill School District. Ms. Katie and Ms. Laura developed an inexpensive tool for their classroom to deepen students’ engagement and ownership of the texts.
Benchmark Education Company is a top provider of decodable take-home readers available for purchase by Missouri school districts to match with the FLEx Early Literacy Resources initiative (more on funding available below). These take-home readers are specifically designed to support early literacy development and can be used by parents and guardians to reinforce the skills that their children are learning in school.

What are Decodable Books?

Decodable books are specifically designed to help beginning readers develop their phonemic awareness and phonics skills. They use simple, predictable text and a limited number of sight words to help students practice decoding words and building their reading fluency. Decodable books are an essential component of any evidence-based reading instruction program, including Benchmark Phonics and Benchmark Advance ©2022, as they provide students with the opportunity to practice their decoding skills in a meaningful context.

What is the FLEx Initiative?

The FLEx Early Literacy Resources initiative provides reimbursement for the purchase of early literacy resources, including Benchmark Education Company's decodable take-home readers. Missouri school districts can purchase decodable resources at NO COST, since they will be reimbursed by the state.

This funding is only available through the end of May!

To receive state reimbursement for your school or district’s decodable resources, be sure to contact Carla by May 30 to place your order in time!

Prepare for Success!

Benchmark Education Company's decodable take-home readers are an excellent resource for Missouri school districts looking to support the early literacy development of their students. When purchased in conjunction with the FLEx Early Literacy Resources initiative, they can help ensure that Missouri students have access to the resources they need to develop the foundational literacy skills that are essential for future academic success.
