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 love these decodable passages. I use them with my students individually. Then they write a sentence in response to the questions. I send these home for them to practice re-reading with their parents.

Oh my gosh Christina – you thought of EVERYTHING with this resource! Thorough lesson plans, leveled pages that fit ALL of my students, the QR codes to audio so they can practice independently, binder pages and tabs to store it all – – it’s the complete package. I’m HOOKED. As a new teacher to SoR, this resource has been a godsend. I’m your newest, biggest fan, and will be doing a lot of shopping in your store from here on out. Thanks so much!! -Deanna

So excited to have this amazing resource!!! I love how this can be used in class and as a take home to practice reading. I am definitely using the composition book idea. I love how it is divided into specific skills as well so everything has a focus.
