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.

After I downloaded this free trial packet, I went and purchased the whole bundle! I love it already and it is great to use with my ELL students! I love that it has different papers to differentiate my students different levels. I wish I would have had this all year. But we will use it for this last quarter and have a great start next year! Thank you so much!!
