CKLA 1st Grade Decodable Fluency Passages with Comprehension

These passages are perfect for students to practice fluency, comprehension and their Tricky Words. Use them as homework, in whole-group, or in small-groups. Great for differentiating!

What's Included:

36 different fluency passages that are aligned to the phonics skills and Tricky Words taught in CKLA. Each passage is followed by 4 comprehension questions.

-Each passage has 3 options:

• Read the passage three times a day/night
• Record how many times the passage has been read
• Record how words were read in one minute.

-No words are included that contain phonics skills not yet introduced. Phonics skills and Tricky Words spiral which means once they are introduced, they are continuously used throughout the passages.

FAQ's:

Why is there a different amount of passages in each unit? Each unit varies in length. Unit 1 has 32 lessons as where Unit 5 as 21 lessons. Also, CKLA does not teach one skill per week like other programs.

Are all the first grade tricky words used in the passages? Almost of the them. The only Tricky Words not used are 'word', 'today', 'tomorrow', 'cow', and 'stagecoach'.

The lesson number at the bottom of the page doesn't match the phonics skills taught in that lesson. Why? That's because a Tricky Word in a later lesson is in that passage. The unit and lesson numbers are to tell you when you can expose your students to the passage.

Do I really need these? CKLA has fluency passages in the workbook. True, but there aren't many. Plus, these are good for students who aren't reading as fast as other students. It's a great way to differentiate! Also, I make sure my passages contain a good amount of words matching the phonics skills being taught.

Are the passages editable? No.
