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.

I needed more decodable text to bridge the gap between emergent decodable books and leveled books. This packet is super helpful as it hits the long vowels.

I loved the options for differentiation, and it was helpful to have the comprehension questions on the same page. My students really enjoyed the audio included with the QR code – sometimes I would simply scan and play the audio from my phone for small groups or I would let students use their Ipads to read along with during independent time. This is an extremely well-thought out resource. Thank you!!
