If you're looking for a breakthrough in phonics instruction that actually works-Decode Mode is the tool your classroom has been missing. This highly effective resource teaches students to decode before they sound out, helping them make sense of the word structure before producing the sound. Instead of relying on guesswork or the outdated "sound-it-out" method alone, Decode Mode trains the brain to read strategically. Students learn to identify the vowel sound first, then scan the word from left to right for blends, digraphs, and vowel teams. This process results in greater accuracy, fluency, and word recognition-especially for struggling readers. Created as part of the Phonics Forever curriculum from the best-selling Full Circle of Language Arts series, this book can be used as a phonics intervention tool, a small group reading lesson, or a whole class reading strategy guide. It's ideal for reading teachers, literacy specialists, special education teachers, and tutors looking for a clear, structured way to teach decoding skills and improve phonemic awareness. ¿¿ Perfect for all ages - from early readers to older struggling readers ¿¿ Use during Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention or as a classroom read-aloud ¿¿ Teaches left-to-right decoding habits that build confidence and reading independence ¿¿ Complements any phonics or structured literacy program ¿¿ Boosts success on phonics assessments and foundational reading benchmarks Whether you're teaching kindergarten phonics, supporting elementary reading intervention, or re-teaching foundational skills to upper grade students, Decode Mode is your go-to guide.

It's also an excellent resource for homeschooling parents, reading coaches, and educational therapists who need a fun, practical, and proven decoding method. Pair it with the Phonics Forever guide or use it on its own to elevate your reading instruction and set your students up for long-term literacy success. If you're searching for phonics books that work, decoding practice for kids, science of reading-aligned resources, or structured literacy activities that improve word attack skills-Decode Mode delivers. Let your students unlock the power of words by learning how to look first, sound second. It's time to switch into Decode Mode-and never look back.
