Short I Decodable Passages Phonics Worksheets Kindergarten 1st

And finally – completely decodable texts made exclusively of what you've been teaching your pupils!

With the Short I Decodable Passages Worksheet Pack, students get a science-backed phonics instruction based solely on short vowel I and phonics knowledge that they had acquired earlier on. No sight words or challenging words needed. This is a reading activity that helps students develop decoding abilities, gradually progressing from decoding one word at a time to reading an entire decodable text independently!

Ideal for kindergarten and grade 1 lessons, special education instruction, homeschooling classes, and LETRS/Orton Gillingham curriculum-based instruction!

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE SET?

• DECODABLE READING PASSAGE – “The Big Pig” – The complete controlled decodable text that is written exclusively by the use of phonics-based vocabulary. All the words used in the story are decodable, which ensures that the students learn how to read correctly using decoding alone, and not by making guesses or memorization.
• WORD SORT – A sorting activity that focuses on practicing short i sounds; helps to improve sound discrimination skills.
• CUT & PASTE SENTENCES BUILDING – A sentence structure activity in which students are asked to put the given words in sentences in the correct syntactical form; useful for improving both decoding and syntax.
• READ & DRAW COMPREHENSION TASK – A visual comprehension test in which students are encouraged to draw what they understood after reading; includes questions that can be used to assess reading comprehension.
• REPEATED READING – A tool for improving reading fluency through repeated reading; includes progress monitoring sheets for the students.
• COLOR & TRACE PHONICS WORKSHEET – A multisensory learning activity to practice short i sound words through coloring and tracing.
