In this paper, the primary objective is to obtain decomposition theorems for graded modules over the polynomial ring $k[x]$, where $k$ denotes a field. There is some overlap with recent work of Höppner and Lenzing. The results obtained include identification of the free, projective, and injective modules. It is proved that a module that is either reduced and locally finite or bounded below is a direct sum of cyclic submodules. Pure submodules are direct summands if they are bounded below. In such case, the pure submodule is itself a direct sum of cyclic submodules. It is also noted that Cohen and Gluckâs Stacked Bases Theorem remains true if the modules are graded.
