Encourage independent reading with these printable Kindergarten decodables! Passage and Book options! Decodable readers are essential for Kindergarten and First Graders who are mastering the sounds of English to learn to read. A Decodable reader is a controlled text that contains mostly (as much as possible while still sounding natural) words that can be decoded by sounding out the words using learned phonics patterns.

This is the application of direct, explicit phonics instruction on letters and sounds and blending. The students can then read a book! Students are so excited when they can READ the book all by themselves! Controlled text using phonics skills and irregular sight words students have mastered allow for reading success with these books!

Decodable Sets included:

Short Vowels

Digraphs

Magic E Stories with Open Syllables

"Decodable readers students to improve their decoding and word recognition skills rather than developing desperate and unhelpful strategies such as guessing or looking at the pictures to figure out what the difficult words could be."
