Long Vowels: Decodable Word Lists and Sentences

Beginning: K-2
Decodable Texts

In this comprehensive resource, we provide a collection of word lists for the most common long vowel spelling patterns to support phonics instruction and ongoing formative assessment. The tool is organized by long vowel sound, and includes word lists for each of the most common spelling patterns for that long sound. Each section also contains a collection of corresponding decodable sentences. We suggest you download the PDF, print the pages front-to-back, three-hole punch, and place in a binder, creating a go-to reference you’ll want to keep close at hand.
