Decodable Passages Printable | Phonics Pack Grades K-2

Decodable passages printable pack — 32 no-prep phonics stories that beginning readers can actually sound out.

Most “reading” worksheets ask children to guess from pictures or context. These do not. Every story in this pack is decodable: your child can sound out almost every single word using the phonics they have already been taught, plus a short list of heart words. Nothing is guessed. That is what builds a real reader.

Aligned to the science of reading and built on a cumulative scope and sequence, from short vowel CVC words all the way through bossy r and diphthongs.

1. Short vowels — CVC words: a, e, i, o, u
2. Digraphs — sh, ck, ng, th, ch, tch, wh
3. Blends — l-blends, r-blends, s-blends and final blends

6. Bossy r and diphthongs — ar, or, er, ir, ur, ou, ow, oi, oy

How It Works

Each story takes about 10–15 minutes and follows the same four steps: warm up the sounds, read the story, read it twice more while coloring a star each time, then turn the page to think and write. The routine is what builds fluency — re-reading is doing the real work.

Who This Is For

Kindergarten and first grade teachers, reading interventionists, homeschool parents, tutors, and any parent whose child is decoding but not yet fluent. Also works well for second graders who need to catch up, and for English language learners building decoding skills.
