Description

Looking for first grade reading intervention activities?  Decodable reading passages are a great way to reinforce reading skills for beginning readers.  Emergent readers need a lot of practice with decodable stories.

In these first grade reading intervention activities, you will focus on one main phonics skill with a decodable story that accompanies the main phonics skill.  These decodable reader passages will help your students feel confident reading connected text.

These lessons focus on short o word families.  They follow my Short A Decodable Reader Bundle , Short I Decodable Readers, and Short E Decodable Readers.  These lessons include some short a, i, and short e words and sight words.  The words are considered sight words if they do not follow a phonics pattern or if the phonics pattern has not yet been taught.  For example, ‘big’ would still be considered a sight word if short i words have not yet been taught.

These lesson plans were designed to be used with a small group, or for one-on-one tutoring.  They are based on Orton-Gillingham principles; explicit, purposeful, phonics-based, and contain a multisensory aspect.

The decodable text can also be used as independent reading practice, partner reading, or homework. I love to send one home each week for my students to practice!
