SAMPLE — Story 1 of 11
Alex went to the dig pit with his pal Lee. They had a brush and a stick. Alex dug in the sand. He hit a big, huge bone. "Lee, come see!" Alex said. Lee ran up. They brushed the sand off. It was a huge bone from the past. "This is the best dig yet!" Alex said with a big grin.
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.
