A Healthy Diet for Beginning Readers: Decodable Texts as Part of a Comprehensive Literacy Program

Ashley E. Pennell,

et al.

Abstract: We suggest that a healthy literacy diet for beginning readers consists of literacy experiences along a number of dimensions, including experiences with decodable text. As such, this article explores the role of decodable texts in a comprehensive early literacy curriculum that recognizes literacy as a complex, culturally mediated, and multifaceted set of skills. We provide five guidelines for practitioners to use when evaluating decodable texts to be used with beginning readers. As an example of the type of ana… Show more

This article highlights a Cultural Sustenance View of Reading (CSVR), a complex reader model illuminated by vivid findings from an eight‐year collaborative classroom‐based study and extensive reviews of cognitive and sociocultural research. Within the CSVR, reading is conceptualized as being shaped by a readers' culturally and linguistically situated knowledge (ways of knowing), experiences and relationships (ways of being), and cognitive reading processes (ways of reading) which overlap and interact through the non‐linear, active process of culturally mediated cognition. In extending the CSVR, the authors hope to supplant long‐ standing false dichotomies between the cognitive and sociocultural functions within the human experience of reading. In doing so, we hope to advance ideas about how learning to read can foster cultural sustenance—with children and their lifeways centered as full and complete.

This study developed and validated decodable reader in Southern Sorsoganon as a supplementary reading material for Grade One pupils at Bulusan Central Sachool, Bulusan District, Division of Sorsogon Province for the school year 2023-2024. The respondents of the study were twenty (20) Grade One pupils. Seventeen (17) pupils were from the last section who took the Modified Comprehensive Rapid Literacy Assessment (mCRLA) for the Beginning of School Year to determine their reading profile, while three (3) Grade One pupils were from the first section who took the field testing since they were identified as At Grade Level/fluent readers. Additionally, five (5) evaluators validated the said supplementary reading material. The study employed ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model instructional design in the development and validation of the material. The decodable reader covered Mother Tongue 1; Quarter 1 under the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs). The validity of the decodable reader was evaluated by evaluators using Evaluation Sheet for Print Resources adopted from DepEd Learning Resource Development and Management (LRMDS) along with the following factors: Content, Format, Presentation and Organization, and Accuracy and Up-to-datedness. The decodable reader in Southern Sorsoganon for Grade One pupils passed DepEd Learning Resource Management and System (LRMDS) standards. Moreover, all evaluators agreed that the material should be approved for use in public schools if the necessary changes and revisions were made. The decodable reader, according to evaluators, would effectively supplement the teaching-learning process for the target pupils. In addition, based on the result of the field testing, the pupils regarded the decodable reader as relatable and interactive reading material.
