What it is
Cody Reading is a web tool that helps educators turn phonics skills into decodable reading materials. Educators can begin with a lesson or student profile, then use selected phonics patterns to shape stories and other resources. Options include connected text, nonfiction passages, Reader’s Theater, word lists, bingo, word searches, word cards, worksheets, and reading activities. Users can submit an existing passage for a check against a selected lesson; Cody identifies words that may need to be taught first. Documented sequence choices include UFLI Inspired, Custom Pattern Selection, Slant System, and Phonics, Reading, and Me, though availability varies by organization. AI drafts materials, while teachers choose each student's place in the scope and sequence and control what students see. Cody is designed for Pre-K through fifth grade and can also support older struggling readers needing explicit phonics instruction. The free plan allows three decodable stories per week for one user. Individual costs $20 per month, and some creation options depend on plan, organization settings, or enabled features.
