Synopsis

FLOSS Decodable Reader is a Science of Reading aligned decodable text collection for Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 students learning the FLOSS spelling rule: double consonants ff, ll, ss, zz after short vowels. This reader is designed for systematic phonics instruction, classroom reading blocks, intervention groups, tutoring, and at-home reading practice.

Part of The Science of Reading Phonics Workbook & Decodable Series (Book 3 in a 24-book series), this resource uses carefully controlled text so students read only phonics patterns they have already been taught. There is no guessing, no memorization of whole words, and no leveled-text strategies-just true decodable stories that build accurate decoding, fluency, and confidence with the FLOSS rule.

Each story in the FLOSS Decodable Reader focuses on a single double consonant pattern, supporting mastery of ff, ll, ss, and zz. Students see the target pattern repeatedly in meaningful sentences, with built-in comprehension and writing tasks that reinforce understanding.

What's included in this decodable reader:

•FLOSS decodable stories (one phonics skill per text)

•Four targeted FLOSS stories: ff, ll, ss, and zz

•Fluency practice using only previously taught phonics patterns

•Comprehension questions in short-answer format

•Comprehension questions in multiple-choice format

•Write-Copy-Cover sentence practice

•Sentence writing connected directly to each story

Extension activities for deeper engagement:

Science of Reading-aligned design:

•Explicit phonics application

•Controlled vocabulary

•Repeated exposure to FLOSS spelling patterns

•Integration of decoding, comprehension, and writing

This structure supports accuracy, fluency, and confidence, making the FLOSS Decodable Reader ideal for Science of Reading classrooms, structured literacy programs, phonics-based instruction, and early literacy intervention.

Perfect for:

•Classroom teachers

•Homeschool families

•Reading specialists

•Tutors

•Parents supporting early readers

Whether a child is learning the FLOSS rule for the first time or needs extra practice with double consonant spelling, this decodable reader provides clear, controlled text and engaging activities that help early readers transfer the FLOSS rule from phonics lessons into real reading.
