Long Vowels Readers

Level 3 Decodable Readers — Long Vowels

These 7 free printable decodable readers cover the long vowels & silent e stage of phonics — designed for Grade 1 · growing readers. Words where the vowel "says its name" — cake, bike, hope, cute. Magic-e and the first long-vowel patterns. Every reader uses only words that follow the phonics patterns at this level, plus a small set of taught sight words, so your child can sound out nearly every word and build real reading confidence.

Each reader downloads as a 2-page PDF: a phonics-controlled story plus a coloring-page illustration of the scene. Print, staple, and you have an instant mini-book. Not sure this is the right level?
