About Drumbeat Decodables
Published in collaboration with Indigenous Education Press, the Drumbeat Decodable Book Collection is a groundbreaking early reader series that strengthens phonics skills and offers much-needed Indigenous content to literacy programs.
This set of five decodable books provides the systematic practice children need to become phonics-wise readers. These stories teach readers short vowels (a, e, i, o, u) in the context of cvc (consonant-vowel-consonant) words. Each book contains a word list, high-frequency words, story words, and short vowel words.
Each title has additional activities in the back of the book, including fill in the blank sentences, high frequency word lists, word searches, and more. There are also free lesson plans for every book to accompany any teaching practice.
The series was written by Anishinaabe educator Sandra Samatte, member of Ne-biimiskonaan (Skownan) First Nation, Treaty 2 Territory, and illustrated by Anishinaabe artist Julian Grafenauer, member of Ditibineya-ziibiing (Rolling River) First Nation, Treaty 4 Territory.
