# Build Strong Decoding Skills One Flap at a Time
by [No Author](https://www.thereadingleaguepress.org/en/the-reading-league-press-resources/author/no-author) | Originally published Oct 14, 2026
See *Read Then Peek*™ in action. In this short video, Jessica Pasik, Director of Professional Learning for The Reading League, previews letter sounds with Pictograph Cards, then guides her early readers as they decode each word before they lift the flap to check their reading.
The pictures stay hidden until students read, so they use their phonics skills instead of guessing based on the illustrations. Watch the video to see how this routine fits into whole group, small group, or one-on-one instruction.
**Bring *Read Then Peek*™ to Your Classroom**
This 30-book decodable box set helps PreK–2 students blend sounds with accuracy and confidence. Order the box set on its own, or bundle it with the Pictograph Card Set and Classroom Poster for a complete phonics toolkit.
