Lesson / Skill
Lesson / Skill
The most-used filter. Select your lesson to find stories aligned to what students have already learned. The majority of words are decodable, using previously taught skills, while the target skill appears frequently for meaningful practice.
If a lesson isn’t available to select, we’re still working on adding stories for that skill.
Decodability range
Decodability range
Set a minimum decodability % (e.g., 90%+) when you want maximally supportive text for a struggling reader.
Story length
Story length
Short (under 100 words), medium (100–250), long (250+). Match length to your student’s skills and stamina. Great for differentiating practice at the same skill.
Can’t find a story? Try broadening your search by loosening the Decodability or Story Length filters.
