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 10 decodable passages that align with a research-based systematic phonics scope and sequence and focus on CVC short vowel 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.

Decodables are sooo important in early primary and it has been really hard to find good ones for a reasonable price. These passages are great and I love that they are ready to print and use.

Decodable Passages-CVC I am so looking forward to using this resource. I participated in your Summer Webinars and have been exploring SOR for about a year now. I have a new position as a Reading Intervention teacher and will be utilizing the decodables with my kiddos. I have created my own blending lines for decodables, so I have seen their value. I also love that these are passages making it easier to incorporate in my daily schedule! Thanks for all you do!

These passages have been a game changer! I switched over to decodable texts this year for my struggling second graders and finding texts is time consuming. I found these and bought the entire bundle. I started using the short vowel passages for my daughter who is a Kindergartener and she now working on the blends. I absolutely LOVE these!
