SAMPLE — Story 1 of 11
Alex and his friend Jan took a ferry out to the islands. The water was rough. The boat rocked and swayed. Jan gripped the railing tight. Alex stood at the front, letting the spray hit his face. When they reached the island, they walked along the shore. The sand was white and fine. Shells of every shape lined the water's edge. Jan picked up a spiral one and held it to her ear. "I can hear the waves inside it," she said. Alex smiled. They followed the beach around a bend and found a tide pool. Inside it, small creatures clung to the rocks. A star shaped one was bright orange. A tiny crab darted under a ledge. Jan crouched down and watched. Alex sat on a rock nearby. The sun was warm. The sound of the waves was steady and calm. "I could stay here forever," Jan said. Alex nodded. They sat until the tide started coming in, then walked back to catch the last ferry home.
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.
Want Your Child's Name in Every Story?
The PDF is great for printing. The full LUCA experience uses your child's name and listens to them read out loud.
