Variant Vowel Phonics Lessons and Decodable Passages

Variant Vowel spellings can be tricky to find multiple decodable passages to engage students in reading the sound-spelling patterns. For that reason, we have included a lot of passages in this variant vowel pack. 12 passages, in our long vowel pack, have been the most we have written in a download. In this download we wrote 28 decodable passages! We've provided hard and easy versions of each spelling to allow for multiple grade use and differentiation. Look at our pacing below. 

Enjoy! Click here to check out the resource.
