Connecting with MO Educators to Ensure All Students Thrive As Literate Digital Age Citizens!
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.
