DECODABLE TEXTS en français

TEXTES DÉCODABLES

(Les syllabes)

Carnets de lecture de base

Inspired by SOR (Science of Reading) philosophy, these are great for beginning readers to use in guided reading groups, at-home reading programs, and classroom libraries!

They're also ideal for struggling readers, as it teaches "the code" for sounding out words, one consonant sound at a time.

This includes 32 original easy decodable texts for students who are learning to read and decode. Each little reader has 8 pages of decoding to do, focusing on the vowel sounds, and building from /a/. (Check out the preview!)

Books include:

•/a/ - L'ananas

•/a/ - _ a mal

•/a/ - _ va là-bas

•/a/ - Chat a ça

•/a/ - Vas, vas, vas!

•/a/ - À la plage

•/e/ - Le feu

•/e/ - Ce jeu

•/e/ - Bleu

•/e/ - Ce chat veut

•/e/ - Cheval regarde

•/e/ - Je veux

•/e/ - Papa veut

•/e/ - De la barbe à papa

•/i/ - _ a fini

•/i/ - _ n'a pas fini

•/i/ - Qui creuse ici?

•/i/ - Qui a le riz?

•/i/ - _ vit ici

•/i/ - Qui dit ça?

•/o/ - Trop de _

•/o/ - Quatre sabots

•/o/ - Qui colorie?

•/o/ - Le frigo

•/o/ - Regarde ça

•/o/ - Robi Robot

•/u/ - Du jus

•/u/ - As-tu vu?

•/u/ - Une tortue nue

•/u/ - Hugo Urubu

•/u/ - Sur la rue

•/u/ - Lucie Luciole

The /a/ books only have words with an /a/, but add a silent -e in a few words in the later books (e.g. nage, plage, balle, banane, tasse, etc.).

The /e/ books build upon the /a/ sound, and add the /e/ and /eu/ graphemes. For practical purposes for beginning readers, they are indistinguishable (in many dialects, they are, in fact audibly indistinguishable).

In the /i/ books, there are words with all of the previously-introduced vowels.

In the /o/ books, words with /a/, /e/, /eu/, /i/ and /o/ are included.

And in the /u/ books, all simple vowel sounds can be found in the books.

A different set of books with complex sounds will be available as soon as I write them.

***UPDATE*** They are all now in 2 formats:

• mini fold-and-staple books, and there are 2 copies of each book on each 8 1/2" x 11" sheet. (Book size is 1/4 of a sheet of paper)
• Portrait-oriented half sheets (i.e. top half and bottom half of a portrait-oriented 8 1/2" x 11" sheet.)

I like to print and photo-copy these for guided reading groups and have children highlight each word with a different colour. They can then bring the books home and read with/to their families, and develop an at-home reading library. Since each page is only 1/4 of a sheet of paper, they're a great size, and they're a more economical and eco-friendly way to mass-produce interactive readers. Double-sided insides would make it even more economical, but make sure you're using a bookbinding stapler in that case, as the words and illustrations would be toward the inside fold if you're doing it that way. I still prefer the fold and staple method, just for a little added durability and longevity.

One print-out gets you 2 copies of the books.

These are all .pdf files

**To cut mini books in half, I recommend assembling and stapling prior to cutting. Then, using a guillotine cutter, cut full pages, SPINE FIRST. (NOT doing this spine first can lead to unwanted rips and tears in the books if your guillotine isn't super sharp.)
