For every passage, you will find:

• The targeted word families/vowel sounds listed in the left hand corner so it’s easy for you and your students to reference.
• Crayons and target skills above the passage so that your students can color code the CVC words in the passage before reading. The crayons are white so that YOU (or your students) can choose which color to use. I recommend that students decode the words in isolation as they highlight/color the words before reading them in context. This can also be used to frontload vocabulary for ELL/ESL students.
• 6-10 sentences per passage so that your students can successfully read a story without feeling overwhelmed.
• The passages use mostly CVC words and sight words so that your students can successfully decode without confusion!
