Know Your Options: Phonics Interventions

Books and Decodables Lists

500+ Free Decodable Readers
A collection of links to free or nearly free digital decodable books and passages for kiddos still mastering phonics.

400+ Decodable Chapter Books
Got kiddos that are a bit older but are still working on phonics? I keep a list of all the decodable chapter books I find here!

400+ Entry-Level Chapter Books for Older Beginning Readers
These are my favorite entry-level chapter books for older beginning readers. They're easier to tackle, but not babyish. If your kids have fairly strong phonics and PA skills, but are still building up their fluency and reading stamina, this list is for you. 

Endless Phonics Freebies on TPT

I have a Teachers Pay Teachers "store" with all the decodables, decodable activities, and other literacy materials I've created over the years. The word store is in quotation marks because everything I have on TPT is free.   :)
