These passages are designed to be used as a connected decodable text for consolidation of phonics knowledge, and to support students in becoming fluent readers.
Differentiated passages have been developed at three entry points, with bees to identify the three different levels.
3 levels of fluency passages for r-controlled vowel OR.
