More About This Resource
These decodable passages with comprehension questions are the perfect resource for beginning readers. Each passage is a phonics-based controlled text that contains target phonics skill words, previously taught phonics skill words and irregular high frequency words. The science of reading shows us that the connection between what our students learn in phonics and what they read is imperative for building a strong foundation in early reading.
⭐️ ⭐️ SAVE BIG ON THE BUNDLE: DECODABLE PASSAGES BUNDLE ⭐️ ⭐️
This resource contains 14 decodable passages that align with a research-based systematic phonics scope and sequence and focus on CVCe and long vowel team skills. 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.

Excellent resource for helping students practice their decoding skills with appropriate passages that utilize words they have learned while also helping them restate questions and find text evidence from their decodables.

I LOVE these passages. They are just the right length. They allow for inferring and my young ones have gotten quite accomplished at restating the question when they answer the questions. I love how all of the resources I have purchased coordinate to immerse my little ones into the skills taught!

Our district is piloting SoR this year and we are required to use the decidable purchased for small groups. I’ m sad to say they are nowhere near as complete as these passages and teacher guides or routines. These are perfect for my intervention groups and I am sure my students will benefit greatly.

These passages are so helpful in building my students skills as independent readers. The more they practice, the more they realize they do not need my help when they are reading. If they know the sounds they are successful at reading the words.
