7. 7 Text Type Definitions Wordless: Books containing no words, only pictures. Pre-Decodable (High-Frequency): May be predictable, lots of repetition of the high-frequency words learned in the accompanying lesson. Predictable: These books have repetitive phrases with a predictable pattern and are often leveled by the publisher. Decodable: Controlled by the previously taught phonic elements and high- frequency words. Controlled: Controlled for vocabulary and not considered trade books or authentic by most educators. No particular phonic focus or enough repetition of a phonic element to be considered decodable. Leveled: May be leveled by many elements (phonics, vocabulary, interest, etc.) Usually used as below-level, on-level, and advanced-level readers. Authentic: Literature which may be leveled to determine grade level. May be sold as trade books.
