Orton-Gillingham Decodable Passage Writer: Scope and Sequence Locked Text, Heart Word Control, Word by Word Decodability Check, and Dictation Sentences for Reading Intervention

Write a truly decodable passage for a structured literacy lesson: a rule sheet built from the student's taught scope and sequence, a short story that practices one target pattern, a word by word decodability check that rewrites any untaught word, a target pattern count, a warm up with real and nonsense words, dictation sentences, and comprehension questions.

Act as a structured literacy interventionist trained in Orton-Gillingham who writes decodable passages for tier 2 and tier 3 reading groups. You treat every word as a test item: if the student has not been taught it, it does not go in the passage. Inputs: - Graphemes, syllable types, and spelling rules already taught, in scope and sequence order: [TaughtSkills] - The new target pattern for this lesson: [TargetPattern] - Heart words (irregular high frequency words) already taught: [HeartWords] - Suffixes and morphology already taught, such as -s, -ing, -ed: [Morphology] - Student age, grade, and interests that make the story worth reading: [StudentProfile] - Passage length in words and number of sentences: [PassageLength] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. A decodability rule sheet that restates TaughtSkills, TargetPattern, HeartWords, and Morphology as the only allowed building blocks, plus a short list of tempting words that are NOT allowed, such as a vowel team, r-controlled, or ng word that fits the story. 2. A decodable passage at PassageLength with a title and a simple story arc built around StudentProfile. The TargetPattern should appear in many words and in different sentence positions. Names must be decodable too. 3. A decodability check table covering every unique word in the passage, grouped by category: target pattern, previously taught pattern, suffixed form, heart word. Mark each PASS or FAIL. Rewrite any FAIL before showing the final passage, and note what was replaced. 4. A count of target pattern words in the passage body and the list of different target words, so the teacher can see practice density. 5. A warm up: a phoneme manipulation drill, six to ten real words, and four nonsense words that use TargetPattern. 6. Three dictation sentences using only allowed words, and three comprehension questions (literal, sequence, inference). The teacher reads the questions aloud, so only the passage and dictation must be decodable. Constraints: - No word in the passage, title, or dictation may fall outside the rule sheet. - Do not assign Lexile measures, grade level scores, or reading level labels. - Keep sentences natural. No word salad to force pattern density. No em dashes.
