10 Lists of Fluency Phrases and Data Sheets (cvc and pre-primer)

Using this resource in my classroom: During our targeted small group time I give each student the same list (these students are working on the same skills). They then whisper read each phrase. I listen carefully, and help students with words as needed. Each time they read the phrase, they check off one of the three boxes.

Pre-Primer and CVC Word List with Data Sheets

This is basically a list of words in a table format! It’s nothing fancy, but my students LOVE reading these words in small groups and as a partner activity! The table and data sheets are also great for keeping documentation of what students know!

Some ideas of using these tables…

• Blend/Read a word and paint a word
• Blend/Read a word and highlight a word
• Use dot paint or crayons with partners to play a word version of (tic-tac-toe). Students have to read the word before dotting or coloring the word.
• Cut out the words. The teacher says a word and the first student to find the word gets the card. The winner is the student with the most cards.
• You could also just use these tables as a quick assessment. The Dolch words are listed in order of frequency.

Short Vowel Phonics Cards

In my classroom I use these cards to help my students identify and quickly recall letter sounds and read words with those sounds. When I hold up the letter “a” my students say, “a says /a/”, then I point to different words on the card and students read those words. These cards give extra practice leading to automatic recall of each phonic sound and cvc word.
