Stacy F. –
This has been a great resource! I use it in both small groups with students as well as in independent centers. It is a great way for students to practice decoding words with digraphs, r controlled vowels, etc. My students enjoy reading the passage multiple times and like to hunt for the Phonics pattern with their highlighters. Great way to practice these skills and aligns well with SOR.
rachelle C. –
These passages and vocabulary activities are GREAT for whole class fluency and comprehension or for small groups and assessments. The passages are engaging and helps support young learners. Thank you for this fantastic resource!

These are great!!! My kids enjoy these activities!
Naomi G. –
I use this in a literacy center and kids enjoy this center because they get to highlight skill words and read a passage that make them feel successful
Jordan H. –
My students love using this resource in our guided reading lesson. This is engaging for students and helps them learn a good routine. I have a tutor that comes in to work with small groups and this is very easy for her to pull and work through with them.

This was perfect for my first grade VA classroom. Thank you!
Amanda Sullivan –
This is a first year for me teaching ESL students. I feel this is a very important tool for the teacher to communicate as much as for the student to connect their learning.
The Lone Star Peach Teacher –
I love using these for small group. Some kiddos are able to do this independently but mine need some help with ABC order and so I love this. It helps bring in lots of other skills too, which is a great spiral review.
