Excited to announce the launch of Daffodil Hill Press— engaging decodable texts for early readers! Check out the site for free eBooks and the scope and sequence! daffodilhillpress.com

We make books that are decodable and engaging! Let's meet our characters; first up is Liz- she loves to be creative, use her imagination and go to the pool with her mom!

Our early readers are decodable and interesting to read! Let's meet another character; Jon has a dog named Jax and loves to play with his friend Kit!

Introducing Rex! He loves Tacos and hanging out at the park with his friend Liz!

Meet Kim! She loves it when her mom let's her press the button on her dad's apartment buzzer and playing baseball with her friends!

Our decodable books have engaging characters and can be matched to kids to provide phonics practice! Let's meet another character! Lin! They love playing with their baby sister and making guacamole with their dad!

So fun to see #wordlove come alive in classrooms! The kids’ gasps of excitement when teachers announced Yea Or Nay and the sighs of disappointment when the Word Workouts ended were two highlights for me🤩

We love our books, but you don't have to take our word for it! Jen Serravallo says "I really love these as an option for early readers. The scope and sequence-aligned texts will be so supportive for kids and teachers."

Exciting news! The new Caregiver/Individual Teacher set is now available by popular demand. This set includes one copy of each title, perfect for anyone homeschooling or caring for early readers. Now available for a limited-time introductory rate! #decodabletexts #homeschool
