Student-Centered

Tap into students’ interests by expanding your decodable library to include nonfiction passages. Students will enjoy looking at real photographs on real-world topics. Student engagement and curiosity are guaranteed through 28 nonfiction decodables that cover topics such as animals, hobbies, places, and more.

Science of Reading Aligned

Each decodable targets specific phonics skills and allows students to master these skills with relevant practice. Students will use nonfiction decodable passages in the classroom to decode, blend, segment, and build reading fluency. Students will master phonics skills such as CVC, CVCe, blends, digraphs, and vowel teams through engaging nonfiction passages. Tip: Include multisensory word work when working with targeted phonics skills and nonfiction decodables.

Target Comprehension

Take a deep dive into comprehension with nonfiction decodable passages. Our one-page decodable passages include comprehension questions for students to answer. This is a great opportunity to strengthen reading comprehension and writing skills. Comprehension passages work well in whole groups, small groups, or independent settings. Have students highlight where answers are found in the text as an added support for their written responses.

Teacher Friendly Resources

Incorporating these decodable readers and passages into your classroom is a breeze. Each horizontal book is easy to prep and get into the hands of your young readers. These books are great resources to include in your classroom library and send home with students.

Utilize the one-page passages with comprehension questions alongside the readers or as their resource. You can use them in small groups to target phonics skills and comprehension or give them to students to complete independently after reading the decodable. These passages make an easy activity to send home for reading and comprehension support as well.
