52 Orton Gillingham Decodable Reading Passages to Support Comprehension

This comprehensive resource, developed by a certified Orton Gillingham teacher, includes 52 original, targeted stories.

I wrote these stories after finding very weak stories to practice comprehension within my targeted Orton Gillingham lessons. There may be some words to preteach or that you may need to help students with, but overall, the stories provide a richer and more meaningful reading experience for students, while practicing new sounds.
