Decodable Readers

For Short Vowels

These ‘decodable readers’ review the short vowel sounds. They are truly decodable passages with foldable books, sentences, and cloze activities and list any irregular or high-frequency words for review. Short Vowels can be tricky and often need a lot of review.

Included in this resource:

• 20 Decodable Stories with 4 for each short vowel set
• Each story is in 6 different formats:
• Passages – highlighting the focus sound and word reading.
• Full Page Passages with vowels highlighted
• One-page passage with room for own illustration.
• Foldable books with extra illustrations and practice activities on the back page – segmenting words, reading decodable words, and answering a comprehension fill-in-the-blank.
• Cloze passages – this worksheet has words missing and is a cut-and-paste style. This activity should be given once the student is well acquainted with the story.
• Each passage is in a small version to collect on a book ring for extra review or take-home practice.

Decodable sentences and phrases– each story has 4 decodable sentences, 8 phrases, and one fluency worksheet that can be used for story order or simply for sentence-level reading practice.

• The best thing about these decodable passages is that they are aligned to a structured literacy progression. This means you won’t find any complex long vowel sounds in there. Any exception to this is listed in the word list and is usually a high-frequency word such as to or of.
• Each foldable decodable is provided in both color and black and white.
• Each passage also has colour and black and white options.

These decodable reading passages are truly NO PREP!

Print – 2 folds and VOILA a mini-book. No double-sided printing is needed.

⭐These decodable readers are perfect for a busy teacher and easy to give to students for folding.

⭐They would also make a great literacy center activity to consolidate learning that has taken place within a classroom curriculum, or send them home for home learning.

⭐I use these decodable readers with my dyslexic students in my 1-1 reading intervention lessons. They provide a great way to practice phonics skills that have been explicitly taught and give options for extra review and home learning.
