More About This Resource
This is a FREE sample of my Write the Room Decodable Sentences Yearlong Bundle!
These differentiated wrote the room decodable sentence activities give kindergarten, first and second grade students practice reading and writing words that contain targeted phonics skills.
⭐️ SAVE 20% on the Yearlong Bundle here! ⭐️
Each sentence is a phonics-based controlled text sentence 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 & write is imperative for building a strong foundation in early reading!
In this activity, students move around the room with their recording sheet to read & write decodable sentences. There are 2 differentiated versions of each sentence that can be hung side by side throughout the classroom. Level one sentences follow a 1st grade phonics scope & sequence and Level two sentences follow a 2nd grade phonics scope & sequence. Students are taught to record the version of the sentence they can decode. They must also match each sentence to the correct picture on their recording sheet as a self check for decoding skills.
The FULL RESOURCE includes:
- 420 total decodable sentences
- 210 Level one sentences – 1st grade phonics skills
- 210 Level two sentences – 2nd grade phonics skills
