These resources have helped my struggling 4th grade readers so much! I love the mixture of decoding and comprehension. We use these weekly when we implement new phonic sounds.

I’ve recently discovered this seller and have been happy with my purchases. What made me buy this set in particular is that there is a warm-up portion and that a digital version was included.
Karen S. –
This resource was a valuable tool to use during both virtual and in-person learning. After small groups, I provided this resource to reinforce skills.
Carina N. –
Good phonics and reading practice for first graders!
Stacey R. –
use these in my small groups for reading. I like that they are focused on a skill and that they have reading comprehension questions with them. My students are not only working on the specific skill but they are also working on fluency and comprehension all in one. My students love the little pictures that focus on the skill being practiced.
Jessica C. –
My firsties and I used this resource every week in our literacy stations. What a great addition, and extra practice for the sounds we were working on for the week!
Emily S. –
My students loved using this resource to supplement learning that was happening in their general education classes. I am a resource teacher so resources like this that engage my students after being pulled from their class are extremely valued.
Miss Nealson –
Loved using this resource in my first grade classroom. As a first year teacher, it made my life so much easier. Love that all you have to do it print and go. The passages are science of reading aligned and I noticed improvements among my studenting readers’ skills.
Malinda Brownfield –
Used during small groups to help students with reading comprehension. It was easy to differentiate and choose which passages to use with specific students. Their confidence in read grew because they were able to actually read it and didn’t struggle as they would with other texts that were not on their level.
Tracy H. –
This was a great resource! I was able to use it for independent work for some of my students and in small groups for other students who needed that extra support.
Deanna P. –
I used this resource as independent work for my high achievers, and small group work for my other learners! It is great!!
Ashley Q. –
I purchased this to use at home with my child. She needs more exposure to decodable text and this hit the nail on the head! Thank you for a wonderful product that has helped to grow her confidence and ability as a reader!
Kristina S. –
There is so much in this purchase. I love how things are organized and how easy it is to find specific patterns. The warms ups are great and an easy way for my students to practice decoding. I can have students practice the warm up side while I listen to others read aloud the passage.
Then my students can practice reading the passage to themselves while I listen to others. They also like to put the story in their book box and read to themselves later because they feel successful.
Great product!
Cameron S. –
My kids LOVE these reading comprehension passages, and I love that they’re developmentally appropriate and look cute too 🙂
Emily Shearin –
I used this resource for interventions with my very low 3rd graders. It helped me get down to their level and help them fill in the gaps in their learning.
Sandy C. –
I love these! My students enjoy them during center time or sometimes I just make a copy and we complete whole group! Very engaging and a good way to reinforce phonics!
Allison G. –
I love using this resource in my classroom because these passages get my students excited for learning.

Love having this for practice whether it be independent or small group! Reinforces our skills and provides lots of application!

More than half of my students are a grade level or more behind, this is perfect to be able to teach the same work for stations but change for levels.

These mats are perfect to use with SOR. My students love them and are great for students to do at home so parents can see what we are doing in class.

These are a great way to review skills that have been taught. The students are very excited to do these and I use them a lot in small groups. They are easy to differentiate based on student need.
danielle desouza –
Just what I’ve been loking for. It has comprehension questions and writing practice built in. I love that there are sooo many options for the short and long vowels so my students can have several opportunities to practice.
YellowRose1922 –
These passages are great to use in small groups. Students can work together or individually. The passages were simple and easy to read. Thank you.

emily W. –
I am working with kids 3rd-5th who have significant reading struggles. This product makes reading at their level easy and empowers them along their reading journey. I like the warm ups, one less thing I need to oversee to make sure they are ready for the passages. Great product, thanks!
Rebecca H. –
This is a wonderful resource. This is the perfect activity for small group instruction and reinforces weekly phonics skills. I love that I can differentiate the activities to accommodate the different learning levels within the classroom.
Carole L. –
Extremely satisfied
I really enjoy these for my students. They are more than just read and answer. They need to use context clues, and decode what some answers are. Amazing resource
Martha B. –
I have really liked using these decidable passages with my students. I can quickly pull the skill we are working on in small groups and we practice it together.
Mrs Berry –
These are the perfect addition to my classroom. Students loved using them and it allowed for us to spiral content in the classroom.
Fenecia M. –
My families have loved having these as homework. They are consistent so that the majority of students can do them independently. I have also been using them for small group work and our phonics target time. There are so many options for the different patterns that I have enough to use them for all 3 things without having to repeat.
Darlene J P. –
I use these weekly with my small groups. I print them back to back. We do the warm up and then we complete the story and questions together. Each one has different questions and a variety of activities on each page. I also really like that the stories are broken down into specific skills so it’s easy for me to find exactly what I’m looking for. My higher kids can do these independently.
Joslyn Buhler –
I love using this with our phonics routine. It gives the students practicing all the concepts that we are learning in class.
Foreman Teaches –
Thank you for sharing this resource. My students are able to complete them independently while I work with small groups.
The Coaching Cottage –
I have only had this resource for about a week but I have already used them in small group. They were perfect. I love that they are skill-focused and quick. The higher group can work on these before they come to my table and we go over it together. It’s a great no-prep, quality activity.
Ellie K. –
This has been a wonderful resource for students who are significantly behind in reading. I’ve paired them with whatever vowel team we are learning about that week.
Jennifer L A. –
At this time I have only used the short vowel passages but I really like all the activities which the students need to complete all on one sheet of paper. My students like when they are able to use the highlighter to highlight the words in the passage. I like how they have to write the words for the pictures. Overall, I am really grateful for these passages!
Charles F. –
Amazing resource!! Using this with students that have mastered letter sounds and are ready to move on. Love that it works on individual letter patterns!
Megan Bowman –
I’m so happy to be able to provide my students with some simple, yet engaging phonics practice during their independent work time.
Kristi P. –
I am using this resource as part of phonics-based small reading groups. The kids are engaged while reading, and there are enough different passages to allow us to practice specific patterns (like magic e words with o) for multiple days. The passages are short enough we can read them 3 times and have time for another activity or passage in a 15-minute reading group.
Nora K. –
My students love these resources as independent work during guided reading groups. I previously struggled to find differentiated worksheets for my different leveled readers, and these have helped me match what my readers are working on.
Brittany V. –
This is such a great resource to use with my students! I love to use them during Center Time as independent work for them to do. They find it engaging.
Fun with First Graders –
This is a great way to review a phonics skill and incorporate reading in, as well. As a Basic Skills reading teacher, I find this resource very helpful to use in my small groups who are struggling in the mainstream classroom.
Alexandrah A. –
This is such a great resource! My students are able to work on their decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills all in one.
Sprinkles and Scholars –
These decodables have helped my students in many ways! We use them in a variety of ways and the activities are very engaging and allow for many opportunities for differentiation.
Heather S. –
A great resource. I enjoyed using this with my class. It was insightful, well laid out, and followed the curriculum. Thank you.
Erin C. –
I love using these with my struggling students in small groups. These along with some phonics practice and decodables are proving to be effective and fun!
Sormeh C. –
This is an excellent resource. I love the number of patterns that are covered. I use it during our phonics block and the kids are engaged. Also great for fluency practice as well.
Holly G. –
These workmats are the best! They include reading a passage, finding the phonics rule, and alphabetical order. I have used these whole class as we learn our phonics rule for the week.
Sarai T. –
My students really love using this resource! We either use it for Morning Work or I put copies into their reading folders! The different skills allow me to differentiate for my students, while building their confidence in reading!

My students have been using these resources for extra support during English instruction for MLLs (Multilingual learners). The graphics and fonts are visually appealing.My students enjoy using these resources.
Meagan C. –
Wonderful resource! I loved that it worked on multiple skills at one time. Great way to cover many things for review. Can be used as a station, in small group or whole group!
Shushma –
Awesome resource! I’m currently using these passages with my virtual classes. I like the activities that go along with it. After reading my students can go on to do the activities while I work with another student. It helps keep them occupied.
A bonus to these reading passages is that it covers multiple skills at one time.
