More About This Resource
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.

- 120 total decodable sentences

I LOVE this product…and so do my students. I have purchased all three sets and used them throughout the school year. The children enjoy searching for the sentences and then practicing their fluency by rereading them with their partner and by themselves. Thanks for making a great “write the room” product for firsties!
