These CVC word decodable passages are designed to be used as a connected decodable text for consolidation of phonics knowledge, and to support students in becoming fluent readers of CVC words. This pack includes 27 decodable fluency passages which follow a sequential progression and progressively introduce more sounds to create a greater variety of CVC words.
Please note: this sequence of sounds follows the Mrs Learning Bee scope which is also used for our Phonics PowerPoint lessons.
Differentiated passages with CVC words have been developed at three entry points, with bees to identify the three different levels.
The passages are separated into the following categories:
Unit 1 Sounds: s a t p i n m g
2 sets of differentiated decodable passages
Unit 2 Sounds: r o l d h b u c+ satpinmg
3 sets of differentiated decodable passages
Unit 3 sounds: f v j k e w y z + satpinmgroldhbuc
