Frequently Asked Questions:

What scope and sequence or program do these decodable texts follow?
You can use these decodable passages with any phonics program. You can view the skills covered in each book, as well as the sequence of the skills, in the free preview file.

Will these decodable texts match my high frequency word instruction?
Your students can be successful reading these decodable readers even if your high frequency word instruction is not a 100% match. Each lesson plan lists out all the high frequency words / irregular words covered in the text, so you can pre-teach any words that students do not already know.

Will this cover all my phonics instruction for the closed syllable exceptions?
No. These decodable passages are meant to supplement a phonics program, not replace one. You will still need explicit, systematic phonics lessons to teach closed syllable exceptions. If you need a complete program, check out From Sounds to Spelling (available off TpT).

Are these decodable texts the same ones in your phonics program, From Sounds to Spelling?
No - they are different! They will work nicely with the program if you find yourself needing more decodable texts for the closed syllable exceptions.
