This is a great resource for second grade! My students really enjoyed it. It made learning the skill simple and engaging. I would definitely recommend this resource to other teachers.

I love the layout of these! Kids know what to do, it’s a great entry task that gets everyone started with a little phonics right form the bell as we all get settled, and I use the word lists to make my “spelling lists” for the week. I wish there were even more sets!
Elvin O. –
Love that I can align these with what I’m teaching in phonics and support my students improve their reading skills.

These decodable passages were a great addition to my weekly phonics instruction last year. The format provides short but effective practice with targeted text. Once my students learned the routine, they were able to complete them independently each week. Highly recommended!
Samantha W. –
This is a nice review of skills divided well for students and easy to find topics.

These passages are great when students need additional practice with specific phonics skills.
