Decodable Readers Vault
Where Small Group Instruction Meets the Science of Reading
Small group reading time is where the magic happens—if you have the right materials.
Most teachers know how to teach phonics effectively but spend hours searching for texts that actually match what students are ready to read.
The Decodable Readers Vault (DRV) changes that.
Grounded in the Science of Reading, the DRV gives you a complete small group system for teaching foundational reading skills—explicitly, systematically, and sequentially—with every tool already prepared for you.
Our Mission
The Decodable Readers Vault was created to give every child the chance to become a confident, fluent reader through explicit, systematic small-group instruction backed by decades of research.
Grounded in the Science of Reading (SOR), the DRV equips teachers with ready-to-use small group resources that follow a clear, cumulative sequence—so foundational reading skills are taught in order, practiced in context, and mastered with meaning.
Are you still guessing what your students need to read?
Most decoding programs leave teachers scrambling for text that matches exactly what students know. Students struggle when they face patterns they haven’t been taught, and classrooms waste time prepping materials instead of teaching them.
What if you had a one-stop library of decodable readers aligned to the research and ready to go?
The DRV Solves that Problem.
Aligned with the Science of Reading
Follows principles from Foundational Skills to Support Reading for Understanding (Foorman et al., 2016) and Teaching Reading Is Rocket Science (Moats, 2020).
Supports phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension—all within small group settings where direct feedback and guided practice drive growth.
Explicit, Sequential, Systematic
Each reader aligns to the UFLI Scope and Sequence, ensuring small-group lessons target exactly what students have been taught—no more guessing or skipping ahead.
This systematic approach prevents confusion and builds strong decoding foundations step by step.
How the Brain Learns to Read
Reading is not a natural skill.
DRV readers train the brain to connect speech sounds to print through explicit decoding practice in controlled, teacher-guided groups (Wolf, 2018).
Differentiation and Progress Monitoring
Each small group gets what they need—no more one-size-fits-all lessons.
The DRV provides decodable and heart word lists, mapping routines, and extension activities that make targeted instruction and intervention simple (Catts & Hogan, 2020).
