SAMPLE , Story 1 of 12
Alex went to the sand by the big wet bog. He dug a pit and sat in it. A cub ran by him. "Come here!" Alex said. The cub sat by the pit. Alex gave it a pat. The cub ran off to the wet sand. Alex got up and ran to the wet sand too. The sun was hot on his back.
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.
