    DECODING PRACTICE
    Long a Freebie
    These phonics based decoding activities are perfect for students who are learning to read and write words with the
    long a phonics pattern. Each decodable sheet includes decodable words, nonsense words, sentences, and a short
    story. The decodables are designed to move students from slowly blending words to a level where decoding is habitual
    and automatic.

    The Research
    I created these decodable sheets to improve fluency. According the the National Reading Panel, a few things are
    critical of good reading instruction.
    • Explicit instruction in phonemic awareness
    • Systematic phonics instruction
    • Methods to improve fluency

    Orton Gillingham states that fluency is built from automatic recognition of a word through repeated encounters.
    Average students need 4-14 repetitions to achieve automaticity. Struggling readers may need more than 20
    repetitions to attain true automaticity.

    How can I use these decodable readers in my classroom?


    • Use with individual students.
    • Learn the pattern in guided reading group. Then, use the sheets as a warmup (the first three-five minutes of
    group) all week.
    • Send home with students as a tool to practice at home.
    • Parent volunteers

    Each sheet includes:


    • 12 decodable words
    • 8 decodable nonsense words
    • 5 decodable sentences
    • A short story

    These free activities are a sample from the following units….
