PLD Decodable Reading Books are aligned with the Science of Reading and help students to build the right reading strategies. They necessitate the utilisation of decoding skills rather than guessing what the words say based on pictures or guessing from other cues.
Our Decodable Reading books will fit seamlessly into your teaching allowing children to use their new knowledge of phonics to decode these delightful stories.
Structured with between 15-30 books at each level, children can complete a level with a variety of books available to keep their reading fun and interesting.
The step-by-step reading guides and pre- and post-reading activities help parents and carers get the most out of reading with their children and set them up for an enjoyable and successful home reading experience.
Published by a multi-award-winning Australian publisher with a proven track record in successful implementation of an SSP program.
Our books are beautifully illustrated with photographs from all around Australia providing the backdrop to engaging stories and characters that children will love reading.

Allocating, Tracking & Sorting PLD’s Decodable Reading Books

Research repeatedly reports that the gains are greatest during the initial years of schooling when students are first learning to read. In terms of identifying which decodable reading books to assign to students, teachers can administer a quick early reading screen to determine which ranges are most appropriate.  The early reading screens are located within PLD’s Screening and Tracking Manuals.

PLD’s downloadable identification labels will assist with organising the large range of decodable reading books. The books, which are available only in sets, are a cost-effective option for schools to modernise their early reading material and achieve a positive start to reading for the students in their care. Did you know? All books in each set of decodable reading books can be previewed online (click on the PREVIEW button on each product page to see inside).

    Private: How do the PLD Early Reading Profiles link to the phonics and high frequency words teaching sequence and book sets?

    The Early Reading Profile Screens reflect two areas of early reading: Accuracy (or the student’s ability to ‘crack the code’ and verbalise the words). Automaticity (or the student’s ability to read the word as a full word and in a manner that is efficient and automatic). Early readers typically decode the majority of phonics-based words. […]
