These fluency tools and centers have been carefully designed to help develop fluency skills in beginning readers. It is so important that students are given ample opportunities to practice reading and refining their skills. There are four different activities included as well as some super fun voice sticks that are perfect to use for guided reading warm ups, literacy stations, intervention programs and more. The activities included are: 1. Roll and Read Mats – Students roll a die and read the sentence. Each mat pertains to a specific word family; 24 mats included altogether. 2. Sentence Pyramids – These sentence pyramids are great as a warm up for guided reading. The pyramid structure helps to develop fluency. 60 cards are included. 3. Intonation Cards – Students read the sentences using appropriate intonation with consideration to the punctuation marks. 42 cards are included. 4. Sentence Pattern Cards – Students read the patterned sentences to develop their fluency skills. 16 cards are included. 5. Voice Sticks – Pair any of the above activities with the voice sticks included in the packet. They are so much fun and will even go with other reading activities that you have! Students choose a stick and then use that voice to read the text. There are 24 sticks included. Why is fluency important? Fluency is the ability to read accurately, at a good pace and with expression. It is an important skill for students to develop as it is the pathway to deeper comprehension. When our students spend most of their reading experience trying to decode words, there is less working memory available for them to really comprehend and connect with what they are reading. ‘Decoding’ becomes the job, whereas in fluent readers, ‘understanding’ becomes the job. Please check out the preview for more details! Both a USA and AUS/UK version are included.

As a teacher, one of the things I get asked the MOST about is teaching kids to read. For some children, it comes so quickly and naturally. And for others... it doesn't. So this post is for the mama of one of those "others" (and I say that in a kidding and kind way, of
It's that time of year again... We've got just a few short weeks left with our kiddos. Let's be honest though, we're all tired. More like exhausted. Summer
I use lots of CUPS in my RtI and Guided Reading time. I got this fabulous idea from Kathy Griffin's Blog. She is so smart! You simply write letters on plastic cups (I, of course, used Red Solo Cups). I can easily switch any of the sounds out and my student can blend the new word. It works on real words and nonsense words (um... hello DIBELS practice!). Here's another one I've been doing for my student to give them the letter-sound fluency. I just use Styrofoam cups and a Sharpie marker. You can also add a "silent e" and have them say the long vowel word. It's fun...especially when you let them hold the cups and twist. :) I've been working with one of my students who is still struggling to blend simple CVC words. I honestly found that he LOVES my little word slider game that I made years ago (but just updated it with cuuute clipart for y'all). He begged to play it and it's really helped him slide those words together to blend a CVC Word. The teacher pulls out one letter at a time from the slider. The student says the name of the sound and the teacher moves on to the next letter. To make it a little easier, I have them blend the first two sounds together and then add the last sound on. The student says the word at the end. They can check to see if they got the word right by looking at the picture at the end! They LOVE it and it's so simple (the slider is made from a letter-sized envelope). Want to go beyond CVC blending? These are my Blend and Digraph Word Sliders Just added- Vowel Team Word Sliders! Or you can buy them in a bundled pack for a discount! :)

Farley is hosting her monthly Linky Party! Check out Currently February: As many of you know, I'm preggers (due in April). Therefore, my hubby and I are staying in a lot more than we usually do and watching lots of TV! We've watched Breaking Bad (all five seasons) and Homeland (just starting season two).
