Tools to Prevent and Resolve Decoding Weaknesses Really Great Reading® specializes in helping educators build great decoders. We are firm believers that strong basic reading skills (like phonics and phonemic awareness) are the cornerstone of fluency and strong comprehension. Really Great Reading provides tools to help schools prevent and remediate decoding issues. Multisensory physical and virtual tools are used with Phonics Suite and supplement early reading instruction with explicit, multisensory phonics instruction (pp. 14–18). We excel in helping students in upper elementary, middle, or high school who are struggling to read fluently (p. 13). Phonics Suite lessons provide students with the knowledge and practice they need to overcome their decoding deficits. The lessons are flexible, appropriately paced, and mature. They can be taught by a wide range of educators—you don’t have to be a reading specialist to make real gains. With Phonics Suite, struggling readers will become more accurate, efficient, and confident readers.
“
We have been using the (Phonics Suite) materials for a few weeks now and it is amazing how much progress the students are making! — Amy L., Teacher
”
Phonics Suite™ – An Integrated Approach Step 1: Screen
Step 2: Diagnose
Step 3: Group
Step 4: Teach
Administer a universal screener (DIBELS®, AIMSweb®, easyCBM™) to all students. For students reading below benchmark, take the next step to diagnose whether decoding weaknesses are a contributing factor.
Diagnose students reading below benchmark with the Diagnostic Decoding Surveys (DDS). In just minutes, the DDS will help you identify students with decoding deficits.
With data from a one-minute Oral Reading Fluency and the DDS, use the Grouping Matrix ™ (a free, password protected website) to place students in the following groups:
Provide students with appropriate instruction based on their specific needs.
The surveys are free to all educators.
Strong Decoder
Slow Reading Rate
Specific Decoding Weakness
Decoding is not a significant problem for these students and is not impairing their reading comprehension. Students with a slow reading rate will benefit from fluency instruction.
Fast Tracks are designed to provide targeted instruction for students that only have advanced decoding deficits (see next page).
Mild Decoding Weakness
Moderate Decoding Weakness
Significant Decoding Weakness
Severe Decoding Weakness
Recommend Further Testing
Phonics Blitz ™ is the appropriate Tier 2 intervention solution for students in grades 4–12. Phonics Boost ™ should be used for students in grades 2–3.
These students need a Tier 3 phonics based intervention. Phonics Boost is an appropriate solution for these students. When students have severe decoding weaknesses, Phonics Boost supplemented with Phonics Boost Plus™ may be the right solution for them.
Something other than decoding is interfering with students’ ability to decode.

Diagnose & Group
Phonics Suite™
Diagnostic Decoding Surveys Teachers across the country use the Diagnostic Decoding Surveys to accurately and efficiently identify gaps in phonics knowledge. The surveys assess a student's ability to read familiar and unfamiliar words with varied levels of phonics complexity. The Decoding Surveys have seven different forms for progress monitoring. Administering both surveys takes just four to seven minutes.
Decoding Surveys User’s Guide Provides all the information needed to administer, score, and interpret both surveys, including reproducible blackline masters of scoring sheets for the seven forms (A-G) of both surveys. The User’s Guide explains the research supporting the surveys and how they fit into an RtI model.
Quick Facts Informal diagnostic tool Pinpoints decoding weaknesses Works for students in grades 1–12
The Grouping Matrix ™ This free, web-based program enables you to group students (from the middle of grade 1 through grade 12) according to the type and depth of their decoding difficulties. The Grouping Matrix also provides instructional recommendations for each group of students and allows you to track individual and group progress. To see grouping categories refer to inside front cover chart. Visit reallygreatreading.com/groupingmatrix for more information, how-to videos, and to register.
