FLUENCY READING PASSAGES

These Fluency Reading Passages give your students the opportunity to practice phonics and fluency. The best part? It requires no prep on your end! This is a chance to shift learners from reading individual words of a phonics skill taught to reading a group of related sentences.

Each reading passage gives your students the opportunity to practice a targeted phonics skill in the context of reading. Each phonics passage also builds fluency and comprehension. It’s the bundle every phonics-learning classroom needs!

Each phonics passage features:

·        Targeted phonics skill displayed in the left-hand corner so that you and your students can easily identify the skill for that passage.

·        Left-aligned, engaging text that your students can interact with by highlighting the target skill words.

·        Three smiley faces that have to students color each time they read the story. This fun activity builds fluency and comprehension.

·        All stories include dialogue to allow children practice reading with expression and pay attention to punctuation while reading.

What inspired me to create these passages?

I created this set of reading passages while teaching first grade. I did not like any of the decodable text the big-box curriculum offered. It wasn’t engaging. However, I knew it how important it was for my students to practice phonics skills in the context of reading in order for their reading levels to increase. We also had limited time in our daily schedule.  Reading Fluency Passages were born! These passages are targeted, engaging, and make students feel successful!
