More About This Resource
This science of reading-aligned resource contains 60 decodable passages with comprehension questions and is perfect for beginning readers. Each passage is a phonics-based controlled text that contains target phonics skill words, previously taught words and irregular high frequency words. The resource is aligned to a research-based, systematic, phonics scope and sequence andincludes explicit lesson plans for each passage, as well as activities for before, during and after reading.
If you already own my decodable books with comprehension questions, these decodable passages with comprehension questions are the perfect addition to your collection! While these follow the same scope and sequence as my decodable books resource, the stories are not the same.
This resource contains 60 decodable passages that align with a research-based systematic phonics scope and sequence. Skills include short vowel CVC, blends, digraphs, CVCe, vowel teams, r-controlled vowels, and diphthongs. Explicit lesson plans for each passage are provided for the teacher with activities for before, during, and after reading to strengthen phonics skills. Differentiate for student needs by using the two versions of student printables and audio recording for each passage. Using these passages and lesson plans, students will reread the decodable text to build fluency, discuss the text to build comprehension skills and write about the passage to apply and transfer their phonics skills to their writing.

Great Resource! It’s so easy to use and follow. The students were able to follow along and do it independently when asked to read.

I love having this resource readily available. I have used these pages as extra home practice and something for substitutes to do with the students.

I used these reading passages with my students during our summer school program last year, and they LOVED them! Thank you for putting so much thought into creating this resource. I appreciate all of the scaffolded student question options. Thanks!

This is a a great resource that has been very helpful to use during our Reading session. Thank you
Kristin H. –
I used these when I had a sub, instead of doing their regular intervention and it went great!
Jordan H. –
It is so tricky to find text that is low enough for some of my students without being too “young”. I tried the free sample of both the decodable passages and books. I really liked them both but found that the passages will take less prep time and will take less room to store.
Amy Y. –
This is an awesome resource for small groups and helping students with our weekly phonics skill. I love that each passage is TRULY decodable, so my students are successful with reading it without any tricky words. I wish there was more than one passage per phonics skill so that we could review for more than one week. The comprehension questions are great practice as well.
Chelsea W. –
This has been a game changer for my classroom and planning my small groups. I love that it has different levels of expected responses and the lesson plans are so easy to follow. Totally obsessed.
