Year 1: Decodable Fluency Passages, Bonus Pack
Year 1 Differentiated Decodable Fluency Passages | Bonus Pack | End of Year
Ten standalone decodable fluency passages for readers who have finished the Year 1 phonics code. They aren't tied to a term, so use them for early finishers, extension or end-of-year revision. Each passage is written at three levels and is longer than the term packs, and every word uses only the Year 1 code and taught tricky words.
- Level 1: approximately 55–65 words
- Level 2: approximately 80–95 words
- Level 3: approximately 110–130 words
Sam, Ben, Meg and Jack each headline a week, then reunite at a seal pool in Week 6 and at an end-of-year party in the Week 10 finale.
How does each week work?
Decode → Read for Accuracy → Read for Phrasing → Read for Expression
Students decode the week's target pattern in the Phonics Spotlight, then read their levelled passage three times across the week: once for accuracy, once for phrasing and once for expression.
