Welcome to BrainySheets — Where Research-Based Reading Meets Real-Classroom Joy

At BrainySheets.com, we believe every child deserves access to high-quality, science of reading-aligned resources that are both engaging and effective. That’s why we’ve created a massive library of decodable texts, comprehension worksheets, and phonics-based reading passages that blend the best of structured literacy, Orton-Gillingham, Fountas & Pinnell, Sonday System, and more.

Our materials target every part of the reading rope — from phonemic awareness and phonics to fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Whether you're teaching blending, segmenting, high-frequency words, syllable types, or morphology, our resources are built for explicit instruction, small group intervention, and independent practice.

Each Brainy Sheet includes:

  • A carefully leveled decodable or grade-level text

  • Comprehension questions aligned to Common Core and NWEA MAP standards

  • A built-in coaching guide for parents, teachers, and interventionists

We support RTI, MTSS, differentiation, and data-driven instruction with tools designed for progress monitoring, formative assessment, and easy integration into guided reading, strategy groups, or writer’s workshop.

Perfect for schools embracing LETRS training, trauma-informed teaching, and culturally responsive classrooms, BrainySheets brings clarity to the changing world of reading instruction.

Everything is free. Everything is research-backed. Everything is built by a real classroom teacher.

Let’s help every student build confidence, joy, and mastery in reading — one printable at a time.
