Reading Street
2008 version
Unit Four Stories
Tired of using all your allotted paper supplies to run the decodable
readers for your students to use as your read through each unit?
My team is! So we came up with the idea of typing out the decodable
readers and putting them on the back of the decodable posters someone
designed in our district (oh so many years ago ). The idea is to put
copy the decodable posters on one side of the page and the decodable
stories on the other side. Then use the decodable reading booklets that
have stories bundled in units during small group time.
Our students have 1” binders that house the school agenda book. We’ll
add these new pages to a page protector in the binder so they can take
them home to read and manipulate with a visa marker as they work
with the words. No more I forgot my book to read J (probably won’t
stop I didn’t have time to read last night) but will come in handy for
word work stations and the like J
Enjoy!

My family's pets do many funny
things. We can tell lots of fun pet
tales. Have you ever seen a
puppy sing? Our big black

the notes. Sam's songs go on
and on. Dan has twin cats. Dan's
cats run fast! Muff and Puff zip

cats play with Dan's socks. Liz's
bird is named Bing. He is big and
gray. Bing likes to sit and talk.
Bing likes the mailman. Bing tells
him a chicken joke. Bing's joke
makes the mailman smile. Bing's
joke is funny. Sam's songs are
funny. The cats are quick. They
are very funny pets.!
