This chapter was about replacing predictable texts with decodable texts. In doing so, we are ideally removing the word/pattern memorization and guessing that occurs when a child "reads" a predictable text. Instead, decodable texts force a reader to utilize sound-symbol correspondence and do the work to read words, in such allowing the reader to apply what they've learned in their classroom phonics lessons. Scope and sequence matters when using decodable texts to extend your instruction, see. pic from page 82.
