Story Time Read these decodable stories with expression! Color a star for each successful read:
| Level & Target Skill | Core Linguistic Focus | Milestone Descriptor |
|---|---|---|
| L1 CV Blending | Continuous Phonation (ma, sa, no, go, pa) | Connects initial consonant smoothly into vowel without glottal pauses. |
| L2 VC Word Families (Current) | Onset-Rime Synthesis (-og, -op, -at, -an) | Blends onset consonant into rime chunk to read 3-letter CVC families. |
| L3 CVC Short Vowels | Closed Syllables (cat, sit, dog, sun, net) | Full 3-sound phoneme segmentation and synthesis across all 5 vowels. |
| L4 Consonant Blends | Initial & Final Blends (st, bl, tr, nd) | Articulates consonant clusters cleanly in short words. |
| L5 Consonant Digraphs | Single Phoneme Units (sh, ch, th, wh, ck) | Recognizes two letters producing one distinct phoneme. |
| Performance Level | Observable Reading Behaviors | Recommended Teacher / Parent Next Steps |
|---|---|---|
| Mastery (14–16 pts) Independent Reader |
Blends onset and rimes automatically; reads both decodable stories accurately with natural phrasing. | Advance student to Level 3: CVC Mixed Short Vowels (a, e, i, o, u). |
| Developing (10–13 pts) Instructional Reader |
Identifies rimes correctly but hesitates when blending initial stop consonants (e.g. /d/... /og/). | Practice continuous finger-glides across Page 1 tracks. Keep vowel mouth shape ready before onset. |
| Beginning (<10 pts) Needs Intervention |
Segments sounds separately without fusing into word family chunk (/d/-/o/-/g/ = ?). | Reinforce Level 1 2-letter continuous blends before introducing 3-letter rime synthesis. |
