1 Decodable Reading Passage
A short, decodable story embedding digraph ck words. Students read the passage then highlight all the target words.
Dan, Jen, and Wade ran to the back lot to play tag. But the lot was a mess! Sticks, bricks, cans, and an old black sock were all over it.
Jen tripped on a brick and fell down. "This lot is bad for tag," she said.
Dan had a plan. "We can make it fun," he said. "Each kid gets a sack. Be quick! Pick up junk and pack it in. The kid with the most junk will win."
They ran to pick up sticks and cans. Jen got the bricks. Wade got the old black sock. Soon the sacks were fat.
They set the sacks in a stack by the bin. Dan checked the lot. It was clean!
"My sack has the most. I win!" said Wade. "Now we can play tag. You are it, Dan!"
