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.

I have been struggling so much with figuring out how to do small groups with all of my students because they’re all on such extreme different levels. This has helped to meet them where they are! There’s no more stress when planning small groups!! This is worth EVERY penny!

My district is currently going through the Science of Reading. This is perfect for reinforcing the Science of Reading in my classroom. Helps my students in a small groups.

This is perfect for the small group intervention work I do with many of my first graders. It ties in with our phonics scope & sequence and is very explicit- love the lesson outlines and multiple days of practice for each skill. The rest of my class can complete the pages independently which makes my life easier! Thanks for your high-quality resources.

Very good! I love the 1 page format, however I would have liked the left margin to be wider so that I could put the passages in a duotang for students to practise.
