Think decodable books only teach phonics? Think again.

Decodable books can also build vocabulary and comprehension.

When students talk about the ideas in a story—not just the words they’re decoding—they deepen understanding and grow language.

In The Go-Cart Race, students compare the friends’ go-carts and learn the word feature — a special part that makes something unique.

These kinds of conversations help students move beyond sounding out words and begin thinking about meaning, comparisons, and ideas.

That’s why every Surprise Decodable includes before- and after-reading prompts on the inside back cover to support vocabulary and comprehension.

Small conversations ➜ big vocabulary growth.

📌 Save this idea for your next decodable lesson.
