The idea of “decodable words” is one of the basic principles of direct,
intensive, systematic, early, and comprehensive (DISEC) instruction of a
prearranged hierarchy of discrete phonics information. Soon after the
alphabetic code (the concept that each speech sound in a language can be
represented by a letter) was conceived, a method of teaching this phonics
information to novice readers was devised. Professor Groff discusses the
comparison between the meaning of “decodable” and “predictable” as means of
introducing children to reading instruction.
