SAMPLE — Story 1 of 11
Alex and his friend Jan stayed up late to watch the sky. Alex had a scope set up in the backyard. The night was clear and cold. Jan looked through the lens first. "I can see the moon's surface," she said. The craters were sharp and bright. Alex pointed the scope to the left. A bright star shone above the tree line. "That is not a star," Alex said. "That is a world that circles the sun like ours does." Jan stared at it. It had a faint glow. They tracked it for an hour, taking notes in a small book. A streak of light shot across the sky. "A shooting star!" Jan said. Alex wrote down the time. By midnight, they had counted seven. Jan yawned but did not want to go inside. "The sky feels so big," she said. Alex nodded. "And we are just getting started."
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.
