More About This 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.

Great resource for helping kids learn to blend beginning middle and end sounds. It takes the guess work out of decoding. I love how easy this resource is to prep for my groups!

I have used this fabulous resource daily in my reading intervention groups. I love how it aligns with the phonics skills we are working on. The passages are decodable and help the students feel like successful readers. They love taking the passages home to read to someone at home. I will be purchasing the whole bundle!

These passages have been a game changer! I switched over to decodable texts this year for my struggling second graders and finding texts is time consuming. I found these and bought the entire bundle. I started using the short vowel passages for my daughter who is a Kindergartener and she now working on the blends. I absolutely LOVE these!

Decodable Passages-CVC I am so looking forward to using this resource. I participated in your Summer Webinars and have been exploring SOR for about a year now. I have a new position as a Reading Intervention teacher and will be utilizing the decodables with my kiddos. I have created my own blending lines for decodables, so I have seen their value. I also love that these are passages making it easier to incorporate in my daily schedule! Thanks for all you do!

These decodable passages were perfect for my students! I love the variety of passages and how the small group lesson is well planned for the different groups! Thank you for this great resource!

I have been using leveled readers to teach reading for a very long time. This year our 2nd graders are really struggling -the pandemic hit them hard. The webinars this last week helped me understand some challenges I knew about, and attempted to fix on my own. Creating materials that cover phonics, word study and comprehension skills is time consuming. I’m thankful for the decodable reading passages and can’t wait to watch my kids begin to make sense of it all.

I can’t wait to use these passages and teacher guides with my intervention groups. They are complete and easy to follow.
JENNIFER FENNERL (verified owner) –
These decodables are the perfect solution for my small groups. I wanted a resource to use that makes it possible to finish the entire “story” in a shorter amount of time. Having Day 1 and Day 2 options gives students a copy to take home and a copy to keep in their reading folder. I love the way they are organized by the scope and sequence. My students like them too.
Jenna Tomkins (verified owner) –
These passages are great for practice with my struggling readers! Highly recommend!

Another perfect SoR activity that saves me so much time and the kids are so engaged. The freebie lead me to make the bundle purchase! I have everything from CVC words to blends, di and trigraphs, CVe, vowel teams and much more in this resource. The students love the QR and technology piece of the passages. We all love the differentiated piece. If someone is struggling with the answer to the comprehension question, they find someone who has tracing on their page and collaborate about the answer. I have the lesson plans. I feel so accomplished and received a public shout out from administrators for having a very engaging reading lessons. Thank you.

This is another SoR activity that my students are enjoying. It is a huge timesaver and engages students in the phonics pattern they are learning. I have purchased all of the decodables, including digraphs and blends, CVCe, CVC, etc. I love this resource! I can have students read it multiple times for a variety of reasons. Thank you!
Karen Westover (verified owner) –
