<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSkills to teach using the free decodable phonics passages<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSegmenting and blending<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After being introduced to a phonics pattern and decoding words in isolation, using decodable phonics passages<\/a> is a good next step for student to read target woeds in context. Passages that target specific phonics patterns are an effective way to provide repeated practice with segmenting, blending, and decoding words and applying the skill being taught. When reading decodable passages, the goal is accuracy rather than speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n When using decodable passages, select words in the text and ask students questions to practice phoneme manipulation, phoneme substitution, and deletion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For students that have difficulty, take a more concrete approach, use letter tiles or letter cards (get free printable letter tiles here)<\/a> to physically manipulate the letters and sounds. Phonics word ladders<\/a> are another good way for students to practice phoneme manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have students answer written comprehension questions to not only go back into the passage to locate answers to questions, but to apply their phonics skills to their writing. Choose questions where the answer will include words in the target phonics pattern or skill students are working on so they can write them in context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Short, phonics reading passages with comprehension questions can serve as quick comprehension checks and an easy way to review learned phonics skills, but they are also a good way to build vocabulary and grammar skills. After reading, you might ask your students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n These free, four-in-one phonics mats include a space for students to write the target words in alphabetical order. Easily differentiate by skipping the ABC order part and having students simply generate a list of the words they highlighted in the passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In summary, the benefits of using decodable phonics passages are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\t Help your students turn isolated phonics skills into reading text as they practice decoding, fluency, and comprehension all in one resource!<\/p>\n![\"Decodable](\"https:\/\/aroundthekampfire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/free-decodable-phonics-passages-1024x791.jpg\")
