Good to hear, Olivia! Are you a school teacher or a parent/teacher? What age of kids? You can reach out anytime if you have questions or need to know how something in the classroom would work at home.
Right now they are free. Did you get access to the folder? I am going to make more and add to the folder. A few weeks of these really made a difference with my struggling readers. It bumped them right into being able to read continuous text decodables.
Try this link. There is not much in the folder currently. I had plans to make several of these but the readers I was using them with made big improvements and moved on to reading decodable passages. In the fall, I will create more and organize them so they’re progressively harder. Will share on the blog.
Go ahead and request access and then I can grant it. Even though I’ve given permission sometimes there is a glitch if the document is coming from my school google account.
Thank you so much for doing this!! I am excited to start using them with some of my kiddos... I have also started my SOR journey and changing the ways I teach to align more with those practices... Question: do you send these home or keep them in their portfolio? Or is this just a reference for you?
Hi and thanks for your comment and question. I send these home after using them with the student for three days. That is why I wrote the instructions for each section—so that hopefully a parent will say oh, I can read the directions and have my child do this a few more times. Or, I can ask my child these same questions with other words.
Thank you so much! Just curious - why did you choose the selection of letters you did? Were they specific ones you were working on with your kiddos, or another reason? Thanks :)
Kind of random, some I know they struggle with. I wouldn’t put all tough letters because the point is to get some momentum and fluency going. I change the letters each week. Also, this is not the only time of day I work on letters with my low kids. And... you’re welcome!
Good to know - great perspective about putting some easier letters on there to give them confidence. Also...what is the "yes" "no" for? Thanks for answering all my questions!
We have found that asking the kids to read a decodable question and then circle yes or no puts more meaning into the reading for them. They have more fun with can a dog run and circling yes or no then the sentence above, which just says the mop is wet.
I am so excited for this newsletter! Also loved the post on Sarah's Can we Read?

Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Hi! How do I access this folder?
Hi Randee, have you created more PA/Phonics sheets? You mention that when you create more you will make a folder available. Thank you!
Hi! I love these! I was wondering if you have a set of these to purchase? Thanks in advance!

Thank you for responding so quickly! How do I get access to the folder? I’d love to see these!

Emily, make a copy of the folder (File, Make a Copy)so it’ll become yours and you’ll be able to edit them the way you want them.
Thank you so much! I’m such a pain, but it keeps asking to request access!!
Gotcha! You should be good to go now.
Mine is doing the same thing!
I am trying to copy the folder, but it is requesting access. Thanks for your help!
I gave permission so hopefully you got it!

Also, our kids love the words yes or no. When we ask them about lunch for the lunch count they have to say y-e-s or n-o.
Thank you so much!
You bet. Thanks for thanking me!
