SAMPLE — Story 1 of 11
Alex decided to make dinner for his friend Jan. He had never cooked a full meal before. He picked a simple plan: grilled chicken, rice, and a salad. He went to the store and got everything on the list. Back home, he washed the chicken and put it in a pan with salt and pepper. The pan went on the stove over medium heat. While the chicken cooked, he boiled the rice. Jan showed up just as the kitchen started to smell good. "You are cooking?" she said, surprised. Alex grinned. He tossed the salad with oil and a squeeze of lemon. The chicken was golden. He put everything on two plates. Jan took a bite. Her eyes went wide. "This is really good," she said. Alex felt a rush of pride. They ate at the table by the window. The sun was going down. It was a quiet meal, but it meant more to Alex than Jan probably knew. He cleaned the dishes after. "Same time next week?" Jan asked. Alex nodded. He was already thinking about what to make next.
In the PDF, every story uses the placeholder “[name]” that you can fill in with your child's name before printing.

Why LUCA Decodable Stories Are Different
LUCA is built on research validated by the International Dyslexia Association's standards for structured literacy.
Phoneme-Level Listening
SoundScout captures individual phoneme-level speech in real time, identifying exactly which vowel sound or blend is causing difficulty rather than simply marking a whole word as incorrect.
763,000+ Mappings
LUCADictionary validates every story against 763,000+ grapheme-phoneme mappings to keep decodability above 94%.
Personalized
Inside the LUCA app, every story uses your child's name throughout. Reading practice that feels like ownership, not homework.
