Where the Journey Begins

Decodify was created by Michelle Pranger, a veteran special education teacher and structured literacy specialist with more than two decades of experience in special education and literacy instruction. Her commitment to evidence-aligned instruction, along with her ongoing work as a committee member of the Connecticut Dyslexia Awareness Collaborative (CT-DAC), an initiative of the Connecticut State Department of Education’s Office of Dyslexia and Reading Disabilities, reflects the values at the heart of the Decodify approach.

What began in 2021 as a classroom tool designed to rebuild skills and confidence quickly grew into a comprehensive, structured literacy system. Inspired by student progress and the need for clear, consistent practice across MTSS tiers 1–3. Decodify is a 12-level supplemental literacy toolkit which was developed to support learners across elementary, middle, and high school who need structured opportunities to practice and apply literacy skills.
