Corrective Reading Decoding Levels B1 & B2

The Corrective Reading program provides systematic reading instruction to students performing below grade-level expectations in grades 3 and above.

Corrective Reading Decoding B1 refines word-attack skills by teaching sounds and sound combinations, introducing new vocabulary, and promoting word discrimination. There is a strong emphasis on fluency-building as well as comprehension with daily reading of decodable connected text.

Corrective Reading Decoding B2 continues the instructional sequence of Level B1 with student practice in word attack and spelling, vocabulary development, and daily reading of decodable connected text. Practice for rate and accuracy, and charting of daily fluency progress are features that help students recognize their progress and increase their motivation to work hard to build reading skills and catch up to their grade-level peers. Students who place into Decoding B1 or B2 have inconsistent reading skills and often guess at words rather than apply decoding strategies that will lead to the accurate reading of words.
