As teachers we know that in the early grades we must provide practice for our students to read text in order for new words to be learned. One of the hardest resource to find is decodable text that contains the spelling patterns being taught that are easy enough for them to read, yet hard and long enough for them to have text reading practice.
Reading A to Z.com provides great decodables for phonics instruction! We use them in our classrooms and have written explicit phonics lesson for every decodable book. We use these in TIER I, TIER II, and TIER III levels of instruction. The Reading A to Z decodables books are not included in this download, as they are downloadable from the Reading A to Z website and require a subscription. There is a free trial that allows your to download a limited number books, check it out! Many principals are more than willing to buy schools or your classroom a subscription as well. It never hurts to ask! https://www.readinga-z.com/books/decodable-books/
