The Decode & Read Along step helps a student learn to decode an exercise's word list by reading the list twice. When the student chooses Start Read Along on this page, the application:

• first reads down the columns in the word list, playing a decoding animation with audio for each word; and

• then reads across the rows of the word list, pronouncing each word.

To complete the Decode & Read Along step:

1. Choose the Start Read Along button.
   Warm Warm-ups Live moves down each column of the word list decoding each word, and then reads the words across each row.

2. After completing the required number of Decode & Read Alongs, choose Next to move to the next step.

Notes

• The Decode & Read Along step can be turned off using a student's Exercise Options. 

• By default students are not required to perform any Decode & Read Alongs. To assign a required number of readings, use the student's Exercise Options.
