(Link is to the pinterest pin because I am addicted to organizing my life via pinterest, hah!)

Hi Sarah,

Hi Sarah,
I love using Geodes! I (Lindsay) have both the second-grade and first-grade sets. They are high-quality books with beautiful pictures and interesting stories. I love that these books are meant to build students’ content knowledge. One thing to note is that the percentage of decodability with these books is lower than other popular decodables out there. This means these may be a bit harder for some students to read and will require extra support from you.
Hope that helps!
Lindsay

Our students have shown significant improvements in their decoding and spelling. We have looked into purchasing decodable texts that align with the Fundations Program. What are your thoughts on grade level specific Geodes classroom library through Wilson?

Hi Margo,

Obviously, my number one pick is the Reading Horizons Discovery® Little Books! They help students transfer the skills taught in the program into
fluent reading. Each story is 90–100% decodable (based on the curriculum’s scope and sequence) to allow for student practice of each skill. The books are Lexile leveled and have comprehension questions as well.

I also like to refer to this list from the Reading League.
