SAMPLE — Story 1 of 11
Alex had a big red ship. "Let us go to space!" he said to his pal Jan. They got in the ship. Alex lifted it up, up, up. The ship went into the dark sky. Alex and Jan saw the stars. "The stars shine!" said Jan. The ship went past a big red rock. Then Alex lifted it back down. They landed in the yard.
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.
