# Our school needs decodable reading books. What should we consider before requesting a quote or placing an order?

| Consider whether the decodable reading books will be used for:
* Home reading books?
* In-class group reading books?
* Both scenarios?
Schools operating with budget constraints may aim to purchase the books in stages. For example home reading books one year then in-class group reading books in the subsequent year.

| Consider what year levels will require the decodable reading books?
* Foundation?
* Year 1 and 2?
* Support students in Years 3-6? It can be useful to estimate the percentage of students that will be in each class/year level that will need to access the books. Give thought to whether students will be reading in groups and how many sets of books will be required.

| Consider what your estimated budget will be. 
* You can then access the catalogue https://pld-literacy.org/product/decodable-reading-books/ and 
* The price list is available here: https://pld-literacy.org/product/decodable-reading-books-order-form/ 

| Another option is to organise the screening first, to determine the levels at which students are reading (and hence the reading material required)
