You can use these decodable scripts with any phonics program! Please see the list above of the phonics skills addressed in the scripts. These scripts are great for working on new skills or for reviewing previously-taught skills. Will these scripts match my high-frequency word instruction? Your students can be successful reading these decodable scripts even if your high-frequency word instruction is not a 100% match. Plus, each lesson plan lists out all the high-frequency words / irregular words covered in the script, so you can pre-teach any words that students do not already know. Will this cover all my phonics instruction? No. These decodable scripts are meant to supplement a phonics program, not replace one. You will still need explicit, systematic phonics lessons to teach each sound / pattern. If you need a complete program, check out From Sounds to Spelling. Do students need to memorize their scripts prior to performing?  No. The goal is for students to practice their lines multiple times so that they can confidently read from their scripts with appropriate speed, accuracy, expression, eye contact, and volume. No memorization is necessary to successfully master these reading and speaking skills.
