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.

I downloaded the freebie to see if I liked the product, and I absolutely love it! I will be purchasing it for next year. I love the opportunity to work on fluency of reading a passage, without them stumbling over words they have not been taught yet. This is perfect!
