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.

This resource is excellent. Lesson materials are ready to print. There are passages and questions for the students to answer based on the passage. The passages have 2 versions- one that has the sentence starters that students can trace and add their response. The other version has students answer the question without a sentence starter. This resource also has a day 1 and day 2 version so it’s easy to keep track of which day you are on with the student. Love this resource, thank you!

Although I am teaching 4th grade, my students are behind and have many gaps in their learning (thanks to the past few years with COVID ). This resource has been great in filling those gaps and giving my students explicit, targeted practice. Thank you!

I am so thrilled with this resource! My school has a small collection of decodable books that is shared between all classes but I wanted something I could use reliably, mark up and write on. I am so excited to see how much my little learners grow!
