More About This Resource
These Science of Reading-aligned decodable books with comprehension questions and explicit teacher lesson plans are the perfect resource to support your beginning readers. Each decodable story is a phonics-based controlled text that contains target phonics skill words, previously taught phonics skill words, and irregular high-frequency words. The science of reading shows us that the connection between what our students learn in phonics and what they read is imperative for building a strong foundation in early reading.

I bought this resource as part of a bundle because I have so many struggling readers. Decodable readers, especially ones that meet the needs of my students have been difficult to find. But I know from experience if the resource comes from you it’s SOR aligned, and I can be sure I’m meeting the needs of my students. Thank you for being a consistent resource for me!
