What educators are saying
Description
These NO-PREP science of reading aligned fiction and nonfiction decodable passages for reading comprehension are just what your early readers need to practice emerging phonics skills in connected text!
Students can practice fiction and nonfiction comprehension skills, fluency, and more for each phonics skill with these Beyond Phonics Decodable Comprehension Passages.
If you struggle to find quality decodable reading comprehension passages that have more than just a few questions at the end, this is your answer.
Students can practice multiple comprehension strategies like visualizing, main idea and detail, story elements and retelling/sequencing, compare & contrast, cause & effect, problem & solution, and author's purpose with these reading comprehension passages.
And even better, these decodable passages are half fiction and half nonfiction, and the text and comprehension activity is all on one page! Talk about saving my print budget!
With spiraling comprehension strategies, students can practice different strategies as they learn different phonics skills in fiction and nonfiction decodable passages.
Students are fully engaged with the graphic organizers and comprehension responses, which include directed drawing (a fan favorite!), Venn diagrams, and main idea and detail read and color!
Not only do we offer spiraling comprehension strategies, but we have included optional vocabulary work and possible vocabulary words for each passage and an editable reading response page to really solidify students’ understanding and help them practice writing.
We already know you love our decodable readers and phonics instructional slides…these passages align to the same scope and sequence, so you don’t have to piece things together. We’ve done all the work for you. Just print and teach!

“WONDERFUL!! I AM SO PLEASED WITH THIS PURCHASE. The variety of skills in these passages is perfect for a whole-class mixed group of readers. There is such a variety of topics that interest my first graders! I LOVE that there is an equal mix of FICTION and NON-FICTION options.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Most of my decodable texts are fiction so having half of these be nonfiction passages really fills a hole in my instructional materials. My students are able to focus on comprehension skills because the text is decodable, and they love the options for sharing what they know - especially the directed drawing!”
