Read It Yourself: A Decodable Story Collection

WonderKidsToy printable learning

Fourteen original two-part stories across seven cumulative stages: short-vowel words, consonant teams, adjacent consonants, split vowel spellings, selected vowel teams, r spellings and accumulated-code review. Every six-page story set includes preparation, two reading pages, four factual questions, word building and dictation, and sequencing/retelling. Story titles, story text and the selected six-word practice sets use the declared code plus explicitly named pre-taught words. Directions, questions and adult notes are adult-read and outside the controlled-text claim. No speed requirement, standardized score or guaranteed independent-reading outcome.

Choose your paper size

The ZIP includes the same 96-page book in US Letter and A4 PDFs. Choose one paper-size edition; the two files do not double the amount of different content. Open the ZIP, read the adult notes and print a test page on the matching paper before selecting more pages. Follow the book’s own printing and materials guidance. No physical book, toy, paper or printing service is included.

A comfortable starting point

Know common consonants and short vowels and blend simple words. Each later stage requires its listed cumulative code. Teach every named pre-taught word before reading.

Questions before you print

What makes these stories decodable?

The titles, story text and six selected practice words per story follow the declared cumulative code, plus explicitly named pre-taught words. An adult teaches those words before reading. Questions, directions and adult notes are not controlled reading text.

Is it suitable for a beginning reader?

The first stage starts with common consonants, short vowels and simple blending, including final added s. Many learners are ages 5-8, but readiness matters more. Later stories require their later code cards and all earlier patterns.

How many pages and stories are included?

Each identical-content Letter/A4 edition has 96 pages: four opening pages, 84 story/activity pages, seven answer pages and one closing page. There are 14 original stories on 28 reading pages, with 56 companion preparation/activity pages.

Are all pre-taught words irregular?

No. Irregular words and words using patterns outside this selected sequence are named separately before each story. Adults model the relevant reading and connect known parts to the unusual or not-yet-taught part.

Are answers and print instructions included?

Yes. Seven pages cover all 56 factual questions, word-building answers, dictation words, sequence order and flexible response criteria. Print at 100% or Actual size on matching paper. Grayscale works; test one page first.

May I use this in my classroom?

The included license allows one purchaser household OR one educator's own classroom. No resale, redistribution, public upload or source-file sharing. A physical book or supplies are not included.
