Lodi Literacy Hub
Learning to read is essential.
Yet we know that so many children (and adults) struggle with reading.
Those who are dyslexic or have other language-based learning disabilities, often feel like learning to read is an insurmountable challenge.
Lodi Whittier Library is proud to build a gold standard collection of resources for emergent or beginning readers and those who struggle.
Our Literacy Hub includes:
* Decodable books (training wheels for practicing phonics skills)
* Books about Literacy for Parents/Guardians & Teachers
* Hi-Lo books (books written at a simpler level but with more complex themes, appropriate to middle school and teenagers who are not yet reading at grade level)
* Books for Inspiration - especially for those with Dyslexia
and, of course, the Lodi Library is full of resources and programs to build vocabulary,
background knowledge and language comprehension!

What is a Literacy Hub?
A Literacy Hub is a joyful place where: All readers, including those who struggle, can find a book that meets them right where they are.
All parents and guardians can find a partner in supporting their reader.
We are excited to be partnering with Teach My Kid to Read, a not-for-profit whose goal is “to help all children become skilled readers through systematic partnership with libraries that provide education about how we learn to read, and access to resources such as decodable books.”

The Lodi Literacy Hub Collection consists of 4 parts. View each part separately at the links below or view the complete collection HERE.
Books about Literacy for Parents/Guardians & Teachers
Books (and 1 movie) with information on how we learn to read. There are resources for both parents/guardians and many for teachers.
Road to Decode Collection (Decodable Books)
Decodable books are books that children can "sound out" with the phonics skills they already know. These books are fun and perfect practice for building success in all readers but especially in those who struggle.
Hi-Lo Book Collection
Hi-Lo (High interest -Low reading level) books are designed to engage older struggling readers with more mature content at a simpler reading level.
Books for Inspiration - especially for those with Dyslexia
You are not alone. Books for inspiration for those who struggle to read - especially dyslexics. These resources range from picture books to adult biographies.
