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.

I LOVE this resource! It provides a great practice of the skill that can be done independently. I have the students scan the QR code with their iPad and use headphones to follow along with the reading. Great fluency practice! THANK YOU!!

This is a good resource for students to start writing about their reading comprehension. I like that there are not too many questions to make it overwhelming for students when they are just starting to write about their reading.

This is the first of your decidable passages I have had a chance to use after attending the Winter break 4DAYSOFSOR training sessions and I love the flow and the amount of skills addressed within the teacher’s guide. It was easy to understand and implement and my students loved using them in group and were so proud when they were able to do the various steps. My class was told that we were going to learn in a new way to help our brains learn to read more fluently they were both excited and surprised to know that learning is a lifelong process and that their teacher is learning every day just like them!
