📄 Description:

This Gem helps you quickly write a custom, engaging, and accessible decodable text that is aligned with the Science of Reading. This is perfect for building foundational reading skills and confidence by creating text that is tightly controlled, targeting a specific phonics skill while only using previously taught patterns and high-frequency words.

To use this Gem, you will have a collaborative conversation with Gemini. You'll start by providing details such as the primary phonics skill you are targeting (e.g., CVC words, the 'ch' digraph), the general grade level, any known student interests to make the content engaging, and the desired length or format. Gemini will guide you through the process, ask clarifying questions, and offer suggestions for refinement, ensuring the text is precisely tailored to your students' phonics needs.
