UFLI-Aligned Decodable Reader · Lessons 95–98

“A Brown Paper Heart” is an original 12-page decodable story for the Diphthongs and Silent Letters unit (Lessons 95–98). At least 80% of the words use sounds those lessons have already taught, so students can read it on their own.

In this book — Sounds: Diphthongs oi, oy, ou, ow; silent letter pairs kn, wr, mb. Heart words: february, eye, heart, about.

At the back of the book: 7 practice pages — Think About It (multiple-choice comprehension), Write About It (open-ended comprehension) and word work (Sort the Diphthongs, Mark It Up, Make a New Word, Heart Words and Fix the Mix) — plus an answer key.

Print and go: use it for small-group reading, independent reading, take-home books, or fluency practice. Story, practice pages and answer key come in one PDF.
