More About This Resource
This resource is a free sample of my full Decodable Passages with Comprehension Questions 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.
This freebie is a sample of my resource: Decodable Passages with Comprehension Questions
This freebie contains 5 decodable passages that align with a research-based systematic phonics scope and sequence. Explicit lesson plans for each passage are provided for the teacher with activities for before, during and after reading to strengthen phonics skills.

Melanie M. –
These were great. We are using UFLI and it was a nice short passage students could read that lined up well to our UFLI lesson scope & sequence. The text is long enough to see whether they are fluent but short enough to quickly get through your students. I really like that it has questions to ask them after reading.
