Let me show you how to get the most out of decodable passages during your phonics instruction!
Take a look at this decodable passage, Snowing and Blowing.
Here's one way to use it:
First, teach the phonics pattern (in this case, ow as in snow)
After teaching the new phonics pattern, have students read words featuring the new pattern. You can use blending lines, word lists, or even sentences featuring the new sound-spelling.
As students read, provide feedback when they misread a word. Guide them to say the sound of each grapheme and blend the sounds together.
Put the passage in a re-reading folder or send it home. Give your students multiple opportunities to practice the passage.
This systematic approach helps students strengthen their decoding skills while building fluency with the target pattern.
The best part? I've done all the work for you! Everything is organized and ready to print:

Just a note
We are currently rebranding from The Measured Mom, which was our business name for 13 years.
Because of that, you will still see themeasuredmom.com on many of our resources.
We hope to complete the entire transition by the end of 2026.
