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 and even better price!

I love this resource, it has been a life saver for my sample group instruction. The kids and I both love the QR code which let’s them listen to the story. I love the lesson plans with the phonics instruction, the blending lines provided helps the small group run smoothly.
I just wish the print wasn’t so small. My students use their pencil to track as they read and they tend to go to the wrong line instead of the one they are suppose to read. Maybe if there was an option to print out as landscape with the font bigger, then my students would not get confused.
But overall, this is a great purchase, I strongly recommend

I bought the bundle and started using these decodable passages with my small reading groups. I love how I can target each groups needs with the different sets. Focusing on the short vowel cvc stories has really helped my struggling readers be successful. I love how they can take it home and read it to their parents each day and practice their fluency. My higher students are working on long vowels and digraphs and I like having the writing component with it too. The lesson plans that come with each story make it very easy to do several groups a day without much planning. Great resource!

I love using these in small group intervention to build reading skills!!
Casey M. –
This resource was exactly what I needed. I am a content interventionist and have been focusing on phonics skills with my students. My campus does not have any decodable readers, so this was a great find for me. I love that I can teach a skill, practice it with my students, then give them an opportunity to apply that skill in a passage. The blending lines are great for practice as well as review, and I love that they are included in this bundle. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase.
