“Thad Packs Up” is a free printable decodable reader designed for kindergarten and 1st grade students practicing digraph th phonics patterns. This mini-book uses phonetically controlled vocabulary so beginning readers can successfully sound out nearly every word in the story, building confidence and reinforcing the specific phonics skills they're learning.
The free PDF is a full-color illustrated mini-book: a cover, four picture pages with one or two lines of story text each, and a back page listing the digraph th words, high-frequency words, and discussion questions. Print the three sheets, cut each one in half along the dashed line, and staple — your child has a real little book to hold. A read-aloud version with one large page per sheet is also included for projecting to the whole class.
This reader is part of our collection of free decodable readers organized by phonics skill and aligned with the Science of Reading. For additional practice with digraph th patterns, try our digraph th phonics worksheets which include word sorts, phrasing practice cards, and rapid naming charts.
