UFLI-Aligned Decodable Reader · Lessons 77–83

“Fern and the Storm Bird” is an original 12-page decodable story for the R-Controlled Vowels unit (Lessons 77–83). 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: R-controlled vowels: ar; or, ore; er; ir; ur; and w + or. Heart words: pretty, nothing, other, another, mother, brother, father, water.

At the back of the book: 7 practice pages — Think About It (multiple-choice comprehension), Write About It (open-ended comprehension) and word work (R-controlled vowels: ar; or, ore; er; ir; ur; and w + or, 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.
