Decodable Passages with Directed Drawing is a K–2 reading resource with 200 short passages that follow a science-of-reading phonics progression. The set moves through 100 sequential skills, from short vowels and CVC words to vowel teams, r-controlled vowels, prefixes, suffixes and -tion and -sion.
Each skill has two passages. Passage A is written at Level 1 and Passage B at Level 2, so you can give a beginning reader and a more fluent reader the same phonics pattern at a fitting challenge. The text is controlled to patterns already taught plus heart words, which means students can decode what is on the page.
Every passage follows the same layout. Skill words appear in bold, three fluency stars mark repeated readings, two comprehension questions come with handwriting lines, and a step-by-step directed drawing connected to the story leads into a large drawing box. Drawing gives students a reason to reread for details and a way to show what they understood.
Teacher tools make the progression easy to follow: a how-to-use guide, a weekly reading routine, a scope and sequence of all 100 skills, a heart word list, a fluency tracker, a Super Reader certificate and sample answer keys for all 400 comprehension questions.
The 217-page black-and-white PDF works for literacy centers, small groups, intervention, homework, morning work and fluency practice in kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade.
