More About This Resource
These decodable passages with comprehension questions are the perfect resource for beginning readers. Each passage 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.

Explicit lesson plans for each passage are provided for the teacher with activities for before, during and after reading to strengthen phonics skills.

Initially I thought I wouldn’t be using these passages until next year since we had already taught blends this year. However, after using the screener I found these would be perfect for intervention groups!
Jennifer B. –
This resource has been a great addition to the work we do in my first grade classroom! It is difficult to find decodable practice that does not include overly difficult sight words, but this resource is perfect. My students are able to practice decoding without getting hung up on inappropriate sight word choice.
