At Reading Elephant, we believe that reading should open the door to curiosity, wonder and discovery. The world has so many interesting things from bright blue morpho butterflies to the wolves of the sea (orcas), and kids naturally love to learn about nature. That’s why so many of our phonics bundle stories include topics that can spark a child’s imagination. And it’s also why I’m excited to share our free passage about the world’s most amazing trees.
This passage is designed for first or second grade students:
The World’s Most Amazing Trees
If your child cannot read the above passage, start with our bundle series. Our step-by-step printable phonics books introduce one phonics sound at a time.
Trees are all around us, but we may rarely stop to think about how incredible they are. In the above reading passage, kids can learn that the tallest tree is taller than the Statue of Liberty, the oldest tree is older than the Roman Empire, and the widest tree is wide enough to fit a house. These amazing facts about trees can capture children’s imaginations and cause them to think deeply about seemingly mundane or common things.




To teach your child to read, check out our bundle series.
Our decodable phonics stories are written to gradually introduce children to the most common phonics sounds.
Meaningful reading experiences can help children become confident readers. When children are engaged with the topic, they’re more motivated to continue reading, stay engaged and learn. However, it’s important that children with dyslexia learn to read in a step-by-step systematic manner. This is why we created a printable phonics book series that teaches kids to read one phonics sound at a time and includes fun, engaging topics.
