Wiley Blevins’ Research Proves the Power of Decodable Texts!

Dr. Wiley Blevins’ research highlights the critical role of decodable texts in building early reading success—and the results speak for themselves!

📖  In a study conducted in New York City public schools, Blevins compared two first-grade classrooms:​

✅  The experimental group used decodable texts alongside systematic phonics instruction.
✅  The control group used trade books.
​
💡 The result? The group using decodable texts showed stronger phonics skill transfer, greater reading growth, and improved confidence when tackling new words.

Missouri (MO) educators are taking note! With a growing focus on the Science of Reading and phonics-based instruction, decodable texts are becoming a game-changer in classrooms across the state.
