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.

These are so great! Low prep and I love the idea of sticking them into a composition book for their own independent reading resource. Thanks for the great PD! I’ve learned a lot!

Love it, thank you so much!

Great resource for small group instruction that goes along with The Science of Reading!

These passages are awesome! I loved using these with my 2nd graders early in the year. We needed a lot of work with fluency and having the QR codes to listen really made a difference! Thank you!

My students loved using these. They gave many of them the confidence they needed to continue working on their reading.

Education with Emily –
I really wanted to love this resource (I love all of this sellers other products!) but this one was a tad disappointing. The text appeared to be screenshot which made them blurry when I printed them (not crisp text). I did really like the blending lines! If the text can be fixed in clarity, I will absolutely change my review to 5 stars!
Update: Seems to be printing more clearly with the exception of the r-controlled passages.

Hi Emily,
I’m sorry to hear this was your experience. I assure you that every word was typed to create this resource, no screenshots were used. I have not heard from anyone that the resolution was a problem with the printables. I just printed several out and the text is crisp and clear perfect for beginning readers.
I’d LOVE to help you troubleshoot, can you try downloading again from your purchases and opening the file in your ADOBE reader before printing (opening in the webbrowser often causes errors for me). Or feel free to email me directly for support, I’d be happy to help so you can take full advantage of these decodable passages!

I did lots of research before deciding what to purchase because there are so many products out there that say they are SOR aligned. These products are so easy to use and extremely organized when you download them. I’m so glad I purchased the entire bundle.
