First Grade Fluency {December – March} 2nd Edition

July 1, 2019 by Leave a Comment

$15.00

This fluency pack is unique in that it is LEVELED!
It meets the Common Core Standard for Fluency as well.
RF.1.4b Read grade-level text orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on successive readings.
Category: BUNDLES
  • Description

Description

Each month, there are four different themed passages. Three for each level – High, Medium and Low. I’ve provided a conversion chart that is specific to the passages
I’ve leveled each individual passage and aligned them to AR, DRA & Fountas & Pinnell.
Each week, you can give your students something to read for their nightly fluency that meets their needs! 🙂
 
On each fluency sheet, there is a grid for you or a parent to log how many words per minute the student reads, and some scaffolded comprehension questions for the students as well. The questions are rigorous and provide opportunities for the students to discuss their thinking about the text with their parents–rather than provide a yes or no answer. Each page has numbered lines for ease of grading!
 
This has been a wonderful opportunity for parents to have something tangible to do with their students nightly! In my classroom, I send this as homework, but, for those of you wanting to use it for assessment, I’ve added a student form that has no questions or numbers. 🙂
 
***DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS ALSO IN A BUNDLE FOR THE YEAR?***
***CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL YEAR LONG BUNDLE OF THIS TOP SELLING PRODUCT***
 
Just check out the reviews!! This has been so transformative for many classrooms! Don’t miss out!
 
The BUNDLE includes pdf files of all of the passages so that you can organize your own fluency binder. I’ve posted an editable excel file with filters on my blog and a cute cover for your binder as well if you’re interested.
Lots of love went into this for my own learners…I hope that yours will benefit from it as much as mine already have! 🙂
