Elementary School Guided Reading Books

These stories are NO PREP and FUN. All you need to do is print, fold, and staple! They will print out in the order needed so it is fast and easy for you!

These decodable readers will ENGAGE your students! They will be begging to read them because.....

1. They will build confidence

2. They have fun and colorful pictures

3. It feels like you are reading a REAL book

4. The back has an introduction to the story with a question so you can engage the students in the story before reading

Included:

• 5 books
• Instructions on how to use
• A parent guide so you can support your child while they read!
• Sound, word, and high-frequency word practice for each book

These are great for your beginning reader groups that are still learning to read! They will be able to sound out the MAJORITY of these words. In the entire set, there are only 13 high-frequency words!

Early readers need to read text that is decodable! If your child is working on reading CVC words and high-frequency words these passages are perfect! When they read a decodable reader it gives them confidence in reading stories and it helps them practice the phonics skill they are working on! These decodable passages have two options. One is scaffolded so that they can practice reading the words in isolation that they will see in the text. Tip-you can highlight the CVC words and high-frequency words they read in isolation in the text.

Included:

10 vowel-specific passages

8 Mixed vowel passages

Comprehension for all stories

Scaffolded Passage and Regular Passage

When learning to read children must be taught patterns systematically and explicitly. After they are taught a pattern like blends they should read and spell words with that pattern in isolation and then read stories with the pattern!

These books help your child practice reading blends and high-frequency words in a fun and engaging story! Read the back of the book to engage them in the story. It has a question so that they can read to find the answer!

These books will help your little one feel confident in their reading and feel just like a big kid because they can read their very own book!

These books cover beginning and ending blends:

st

gl

pl

fl

cl

fr

gr

tr

sk

sw

lp

nt

mp

These books are very little prep! Print, staple, READ!

It is important for your child to gain confidence when learning to read! They need to practice reading stories with the phonetic pattern they are learning! These decodable readers are perfect to work on sounds, reading digraphs, reading high-frequency words, and stories with digraphs. I have a scaffolded option that includes the sounds, words, and high-frequency words in isolation that they will see in the story! When they are done reading the story you can work on comprehension with a few quick questions about the story! Tip-you could have them highlight all of the words with digraphs in the passage and have them read those in isolation before reading the whole story!

Included:

5 digraph-specific passages (scaffolded and regular) (th, sh, ch, wh, ck)

5 mixed digraph passages (scaffolded and regular) (th, sh, ch, wh, ck)

*All of the words use a short vowel

When learning to read children must be taught patterns systematically and explicitly. After they are taught a pattern like blends they should read and spell words with that pattern in isolation and then read stories with the pattern!

These books help your child practice reading digraphs and high-frequency words in a fun and engaging story! Read the back of the book to engage them in the story. It has a question so that they can read to find the answer!

These books will help your little one feel confident in their reading and feel just like a big kid because they can read their very own book!

These books cover:

sh

ch

th

ck

4 books in total

*Because there are very few words for wh that have a short vowel I didn't make a book specifically for wh. Instead, I put words throughout all the books with the digraph wh.

These books are very little prep! Print, staple, READ!

Learning to read is not something that happens overnight! It takes a lot of practice and persistence! Learning to read seems complicated but the top skills children need are phonemic awareness, decoding, orthographic mapping, fluency skills, comprehension, and lots of persistence and practice! These lessons have all of these skills needed! I give some tips and tricks on how to make it hands-on! These lessons are quick and easy to implement! There is no prep needed. Print and get to work! These work well for your intervention groups or you can hand it to an aide with no extra work from you!

Included:

28 Lessons

Fluency Skills-accuracy, rate, and expression

Phonemic Awareness (CVC words)

Reading CVC Words (blending sounds without sounding out loud)

Spelling CVC Words (orthographic mapping)

High-Frequency Words (most frequently used-orthographic mapping)

Decodable CVC Passages (Scaffolded-one has the sounds, words, and high-frequency words they will see in the passage so they can practice these words in isolation before reading)

This is a lesson that is from my CVC Fluency Lessons Bundle. In this lesson you will have one detailed lesson plan, phonemic awareness, reading CVC words, orthographic mapping of CVC words, a high-frequency word, and scaffolded and regular CVC decodable passage. This is a great introduction to teaching fluency while still working on the important skills students need to become fluent readers! This resource is no prep and easy to use!

Adapted Books with a focus on "Wh" Questions: "What" and "Who" is a set of four books designed to help children learn and practice their comprehension skills. The set includes two books with a focus on "what" questions and two books with a focus on "who" questions.

Extend student practice through print and go worksheets, task cards, and a sorting activity.

Adaptive books are a valuable tool to use with students. While the books do require some prep work such as printing, laminating, cutting and velcro; they can be used again and again! They are highly motivational for even the most reluctant learners. Each book has 8 picture icons to choose from. You can easily adapt by sharing less options with your students.

What:

Book 1: What do you wear? is a fun and interactive way for children to learn about appropriate clothing choices for different weather conditions. It presents various scenarios and asks children to choose the correct clothing to wear for each situation. For example, "It is a sunny summer day and you want to go swimming". What will you wear? Clothing for all seasons is included.

Book 2: What are they doing? is designed to help children practice predicting and understanding cause and effect. It presents various situations and asks children to determine what the characters will do in each scenario. Children can reinforce their understanding by stating what they would do in each situation. "I will... Situations include: Cooking, painting, playing ball, crying, cleaning, eating, reading and sleeping.

What/Who:

Book 3 & 4: This book is available as either Who lives here or What animal lives here. They are a fun and engaging way for children to learn about different animals and their habitats. It presents different locations and asks children to choose the animal that lives in each place. Support is provided with a hint for each animal to help children who may not have prior knowledge of the animal's habitat or characteristics.

Example: Book 3 - Who lives inside a home? Book 4 - What animal lives inside a home? Hint: I am soft, cuddly and I meow. Animals include: starfish, bunny, skunk, penguin, fish, bear, whale and cat.

Book 5: So many jobs! Who will do them? is designed to help children learn about different occupations and the roles they play in society. It presents various jobs, including traditional careers such as teacher and firefighter, as well as more unusual careers such as rockstar. This book encourages children to think about what they might want to do when they grow up. Jobs include: teacher, farmer, ball player, firefighter, police, fisherman, cook & rockstar!

Book 6: Who will do it? This book presents a problem (I need or I like something), and a solution (who I can get this from). For example, I like cookies. Who will bake them? or I need groceries. Who will I pay?

Print and Go:

Continue practicing student understanding of "what" and "who" questions through 16 additional practice pages.

• 2 pages of sorting pictures into "who" and "what columns.
• 4 pages of identify and color pages.
• 10 pages of matching a picture to the "who" or "what" question. These will require a student to cut and paste.

Task Cards: All cards are colorful and made to be laminated and reused. I store mine in small containers (pictures in preview)

• Clip cards "what": Students will identify the correct picture from a choice of 4. Clip with a paperclip or laundry clip or laminate and circle with a dry erase marker.
• Clip cards "who": Students will identify the correct picture from a choice of 4. Clip with a paperclip or laundry clip or laminate and circle with a dry erase marker.
• What Color: Identify object and then identify the correct color.
• Where do they work - The base card contains a place of work (hospital, bakery etc.) Students will select the correct person who works there.
• Who and what questions - Students select the correct picture to answer the question.

Pictures for Anchor Chart

12 Who and 12 What pictures are included to use for discussion, practice or post in your classroom as a reminder.

This set of books includes 5 Adaptive Books focusing on color identification. All books have a choice of 8 manipulative pieces. However, differentiation is easy, as you will provide fewer options if needed. The books include colorful grasshoppers, turtles, heroes, & Fish. These books require some prep work; however, once they are laminated & velcroed, they provide extended and repeated practice.

Books 1 & 2: Colorful Grasshoppers & Where is Grasshopper helps students identify colors and place colored grasshoppers in specific locations (under, on, behind, beside, and between). 

Book 3: Friendly Fish provides students with visual prompting to support matching colors. Students will match the Fish to the correct color.

Book 4: Hero Friends utilizes repetitive text "We need a hero wearing _____." Students will select the correct superhero on each page. 

Book 5: A slow turtle allows students to place the correct color turtle by the water. Students can also practice letter formation by tracing words within this book.

What is included?

This set includes a plethora of resources and it will keep you busy throughout the school year! I have included animals, holidays, counting, shapes, colors and more.

While many sets are made with the early literacy / early math skills in mind there are also books that can be used as your students grow their skills. I have even my biggest sellers are included in this massive bundle of 40 products!

Why Adapted books?

I personally love using adapted books. I have found them to be motivating to even my most reluctant learners. They are a great resource for such a wide range of learners as well as I can easily modify my instruction for the needs of each student.

I have used them with students who are just learning to sit in their seats and follow directions. Adapted books can easily be modified for students by providing less visual options.

I have also used them with student who are reluctant learners. They may already be confident in the skills presented in the books, however benefit from a learning activity they know they will do succeed with. It is a great starting activity!

Do you have a student who is working on identifying "wh" questions? Place a post it note over picture on each page. Read, ask the "wh" question, and your student can check their answer by checking under the post it note.

Once I have my books prepared they are sturdy, easily cleaned & stored. I store mine in a crate that supports hanging folders. They are sorted by topic and easy to grab and go. We use them in stations, with substitutes, my classroom aides, and when student want to read with peers. They are often requested as well!

How are they prepared?

These books do require some prior prep work. Once they have been created however they are able to be used year after year with a variety of students. I generally print, laminate, bind and velcro them so they can be reused. The adaptive books are designed with students ability to interact with learning material. Each book has interactive icons. Students will have options of 8-10 choices for each story.

So, why wait?
