Partner Reader’s Theater

Decodable reader’s theater scripts for two partners: every word uses the sounds and trick words taught so far, with a Think and Talk page, a Write About It page and an answer key. Buy a unit or the whole level set; Color and Printer-Friendly versions included.

Maze Passages

Decodable maze passages, four a week: students read silently and circle the word that fits in each box, a quick check of fluency and comprehension. Every word uses the sounds and trick words taught so far; answer keys, a weekly scoring page and a progress graph are included. Buy a unit or the whole level set; Color and Printer-Friendly versions included.

Made to line up with your lessons

Every resource follows the same skills your class is working on in Level 1 — digraphs, glued sounds, blends, and trick words. Lesson slides present each lesson step by step, Daily Lesson Work Pages give students that day’s practice, and Worksheets add cumulative review students can work through independently. Full-year bundles collect a whole level in one download. Open any listing’s “Look inside” preview to see real pages and slides before you buy.

Common questions

Are these official Fundations® materials?

No. The Learning Press is an independent publisher, and these are companion resources — lesson slides, daily work pages, and worksheets — created by a classroom teacher to reinforce the skills taught in each level. Fundations® is a registered trademark of Wilson Language Training Corporation, which has not reviewed, sponsored, or endorsed these resources.

How do these fit into my week?

Use the lesson slides to present each day’s lesson, the Daily Lesson Work Pages for that day’s independent practice, and the Worksheets for cumulative review, small groups, morning work, or sub plans. Everything follows the order of a structured literacy block: skills are introduced explicitly, then practiced cumulatively across the week. Bundles give you the whole year at once.

What do I get when I buy?

An instant download the moment checkout finishes — PDFs for work pages and packets, PowerPoint files (Google Slides–ready) for lesson slides, and a zip for bundles — licensed for your own classroom. Your download links don’t expire, and a copy is emailed to you for easy access later.
