95 Decodable Duos
Graphic Design and Art Direction
The 95 Duo Decodables project involved developing two levels of decodable readers for kindergarten and first-grade students. The innovative design featured a patent-pending concept where students first read a text-only version of the story to build fluency, then flip the book to view the same text paired with illustrations after mastering the words. This dual-version approach supports decoding and comprehension. As art director, designer, and illustrator, I led a team to execute the project, overseeing all design elements, creating illustrations for the Kindergarten books, and developing packaging materials. The project aimed to provide an engaging, educational experience that was inclusive and representative of diverse student identities.
Dual-Sided Layout
One thoughtfully designed book, two purposeful reading experiences. The picture-supported side introduces the story with visual context, while the reverse side removes illustrations so students can focus on decoding the text independently, making the format ideal for repeated reading and skill reinforcement.
display box
More than simple packaging, the display box serves as an extension of the product experience. It combines functional organization with eye-catching graphics to showcase the collection, protect the books, and provide quick access for teachers and students.
box organization
​Thoughtfully designed organizational tabs and companion teacher materials enhance the overall product experience. Clear labeling, cohesive branding, and intuitive organization help educators efficiently manage the collection while keeping instructional resources close at hand.
