What Text Type Do | Use for My Small Group Reading Lesson? Alphabet Book Controlled Decodable Text Readable Leveled Text An alphabet book is a text that contains pictures of objects that begin with the same sound. A decodable text is entirely made up of high frequency words and words that can be sounded out. A controlled decodable text is a decodable text that contains only word structures that have been explicitly taught. Leveled texts are categorized on a continuum of difficulty using many different factors (i.e. theme complexity, sentence complexity, etc.). A readable leveled text is one that a student can read mostly without teacher support with ~ 90 - 94% accuracy. It contains a small percentage of words with sounds and structures that may not have been explicitly taught, but the majority is made up of words that students can read. It’s at the child’s instructional level.
