Background for the fourteen apps The Baratta-Lorton Reading Program also known as Dekodiphukan (pronounced decode if you can) was developed by the Center for Innovation in Education whose many other offerings include Mathematics Their Way, the first non-traditional math curriculum adopted in by the State of California.

Dekodiphukan has been in use in classrooms across the United States and Canada since 1985. The Program has been used to teach thousands of children to read and to write regardless of background or supposed lack of reading readiness.

To date, no child using the program in a classroom setting has ever failed to learn to read or to write.

This Dekodiphukan reading and writing curriculum is now a series of fourteen apps plus a parent-guide for the iPad that, within a period of six months to a year (or occasionally a bit longer for some special needs children), will enable every child using it to read and to write. Reading with enjoyment. Writing creatively.

Dekodiphukan is a full fledged curriculum. It is a set of specific learning activities, not a set of games. The curriculum’s fourteen apps are all free with no ads - popup or otherwise - included. While the apps may be downloaded all at once and stored in a folder on the iPad, no more than two or three of the apps are used at any one time by the child.

Writing Worksheets The eleventh of the Fourteen Apps

The Writing Worksheets in combination with the Decoding Chart transition the child from reading with sounds to reading with letters. The Writing Worksheets are introduced when the child is comfortable and confident reading and writing with the sounds.  This confidence is measured by how easily the child reads the phrases at the phrase levels of the Reading Worksheets and Picture Packets-Phrases, and by the quality of the stories the child stamps out.  Quality in this case means how well the sounds in words are heard, and not is the child a budding Shakespeare.
