Hello Friend!

This resource is a free sample of my full Decodable Books resource. This freebie
contains 5 decodable books that align with a research-based systematic phonics
scope and sequence. Explicit lesson plans for each book are provided for the
teacher with activities for before, during, and after reading to strengthen phonics
skills. Using these books and lesson plans, students will reread the decodable text to
build fluency, discuss the text to build comprehension skills, and write about the
passage to apply and transfer their phonics skills to their writing.

I truly hope you and your students love this sample!

Extend student learning with these activities to use with decodable
words.

• Word Ladders – Students can build a word ladder or word chain by

changing one phoneme in the word to create the next word.

• Word Building – Students create a series of words using a limited

set of letter cards. This activity creates flexibility with student
knowledge of letter sounds and builds reading & spelling skills.

• Word Sorts – After mastering a phonics skill, sorting words by their

phonics patten is a great way to review.

• Word Mapping – Word mapping is a physical way to represent the

relationship between phonemes (sounds) and graphemes (letters).
Using word mapping activities helps students store words into their
sight word memories.
