The fourth set in the 60 Word Stories Fluency Program, 'Tess and the Gang' is a set of six fully decodable stories that includes basic CVC code plus doubles (ff, ll, ss, zz, ck) and digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, ng). This story is a perfect way to review all beginner code and build reading fluency. Comprehension questions, Score Sheet and Fluency Chart are also included.

60 Word Stories are designed to build text-level reading fluency once single-word accuracy and fluency has been established. Each story includes exactly 60 words, to simplify scoring and fluency tracking - 60 words in 60 seconds is a great benchmark to aim for.

The stories are linked like a chapter book, and include highs and lows, to provide the reader with that additional motivation to read on the next day. Join Tess and Bud as they track bad Tazz and the stolen cash! 

By limiting the graphics, the child can focus on applying their decoding strategies to the text rather than 'taking a guess' based on the picture. The cartoon images have been carefully selected to be age-appropriate for older struggling readers - nothing deters reading like a 'book for babies'.   

Suitable for:

60 Word Stories are perfect for use within the classroom or learning support division with children requiring additional practice with beginner code.

They are also ideal for use at home with beginner or struggling readers.

Please Note: 'Tess and the Gang' is included in Read3 Module 1 Step 5 as part of the fluency component. It is recommended that struggling readers use the full Read3 program to strengthen phonological awareness and phonics skills, not just reading fluency, for accelerated gains.   

Research shows repeated reading of decodable text builds fluency.

If you ask a child to repeatedly read non-decodable text you are effectively testing their memory.

But when a child repeatedly reads decodable text, that only includes spelling patterns they know. you are testing their fluency.

The first step is to be accurate when decoding. The next step is to increase the speed of recall and move towards fluency. For children with processing difficulties building fluency is particularly difficult and providing impetus to push past single-word reading is why the 60 Word Stories collection was created.

Repeating a reading 3 times in one day starts to build fluency. Timing and charting the speed helps motivate the child to improve their performance on each reading.

    Apple Pencil Pro… definitely an upgrade from the original Pencil and Pencil 2!
    Purchased as an open‑box, like‑new item, and it arrived exactly as described. The box was opened but taped closed and the wrapper was still on the pencil. It didn’t have any charge out of the box, but as soon as I snapped it onto the side of my iPad, it synced instantly and worked right away. I charged it fully that first night and have been using it normally ever since. I’m using it with my 13” iPad Air M2, and it’s great. The double‑tap on the barrel to bring up the menu is super convenient, and everything works flawlessly. Zero issues so far. For basically half the price of a brand‑new one, this feels like an excellent buy and absolutely worth what I paid. Apple hardware is built well, the white looks nice and clean… I have no worries about longevity at all. Excellent product from Apple as usual.

    Super easy to set up and start drawing
    I was honestly shocked at how easy it was to connect it to my iPad. Opened the box and was expecting to see more inside of it, decided to see what happens when I put it up to my iPad and it connected instantly. Works great with my iPad m2 with touch sensitivity and spiral twist stuff in procreate. Really happy to not have to plug it in to charge. I’m planning to use this daily, so I needed to make sure it would actually feel good to hold in my hand and oh baby let me tell you, it does. It’s really smooth drawing wise, using it is intuitive. Fits on the iPad snug. I’d say give it a shot

    It works, but there’s some improvement needed.
    The Apple Pencil Pro is easy to write with, not heavy like the other reviews made it seem, very nice and simple design, great battery life, great pressure sensitivity, and the squeeze feature and wireless charging is a nice touch. Theres one issue though, I’m an artist and student and I do a lot of work on my iPad. The pencil (or my iPad) glitches and randomly and switches me over to the eraser tool in the middle of me writing/drawing even when I turned the squeeze feature off.

    Wonderful product!
    I got the Apple Pencil (USB-C) a few months ago and I’ve honestly been so impressed with it. It pairs instantly with my iPad and starts working right away — no complicated setup at all. The USB-C charging is super convenient, especially since I already use the same charger for other devices. The writing experience feels incredibly smooth and natural. It’s very responsive with no noticeable lag, which makes taking notes, highlighting, and drawing feel effortless. I also love how precise it is — it makes writing neatly and editing small details really easy. It’s lightweight but still feels high-quality and durable. For note-taking, journaling, planning, or casual drawing, it does exactly what I need without the higher price tag of the Pro version. Overall, I think it’s a great value and a perfect choice if you want reliable performance without paying extra for features you may not need.
