Easy to Read.
Hard to Put Down.
STORYSHARES DECODABLES: A new shelf in the global library designed to reach the most left-behind readers in grade 3 and beyond: at their individual intersections of reading ability and age
The Storyshares Process
We design decodable chapter books for students in grades 3-12, featuring diverse characters and engaging relevant themes. Storyshares Decodables align with literacy intervention programs and best practices from the Science of Reading.
Our Curriculum & Beyond
Our curriculum offers more than just books for students. Storyshares Decodables series come with an educator companion, which includes pacing guides, lesson plans, phonics and fluency activities, vocabulary practice, comprehension questions, and scaffolded writing prompts.
How We Support Our Teachers
We support teachers with resources and training to effectively use our books, enhancing student engagement and literacy development.
Irresistible Books for Older Striving Readers
Storyshares is a literacy organization and niche publisher dedicated to bringing the transformational power of books to striving readers all across the globe.
We meet underserved readers wherever they are, providing culturally inclusive texts that are filled with diverse, relatable, and compelling characters, brought to life with accessible language and formatting.
“Easy to read but hard to put down,” our library is home to choices that readers of all ages can and want to read as they work to strengthen key literacy skills.
Our Curriculum Ensures Progress
Storyshares Decodable Chapter Books follow a phonics scope & sequence where each decodable text has a specific focus that need to have been previously taught in order for the reader to decode the text.
Sequential decodables get more challenging as students amass more skills. Each chapter in the decodables series helps the reader practice a phonics concept. All research-based reading intervention programs include explicit, direct instruction of the rules of the English language, broken up into easily digestible chunks of information.
These decodables are supplemental chunks of text in the form of stories that align with the Science of Reading concepts taught.
