Practice Stories for Beginning Readers

Word lists and short stories built on the basic vowels, consonant digraphs and consonant blends. Sight words are marked with a small symbol so a child knows which ones cannot be sounded out.

Kathryn J. Davis

A set of fully illustrated decodable stories about a boy named Seth and his family. Every sentence uses only the letter sounds a kindergartener has already been taught.

Core Knowledge Foundation

Longer decodable stories that follow two children and their dog, with more sounds in play than the earlier readers. A natural next step once a child reads short sentences with confidence.

Core Knowledge Foundation

Eighteen very short stories, each paired with a full-page photograph, written so a beginner can decode every word. The sentences stay short and predictable, which also suits readers with dyslexia.

TextProject

An activity-based kindergarten course covering letter recognition, sounds and early writing, with a lesson plan for every page of the student book.
