Some flags represent countries, states, or other groups of people. People also hang flags for parties and wave them to celebrate at parades. Beginning readers hone their phonics skills while learning about the many reasons people hang flags. As readers practice decoding words with L-blends, they gain nonfiction knowledge. Every Stairway Decodables book combines multiple aspects of the Science of Reading to support small group instruction, independent reading, and reading practice at home.
