Reading for Meaning Preview

August 2, 2015 by Tamara

So excited about this new line of fluency for first graders!
Over the last three years, I’ve been working on creating the right balance of fluency resources for my students.  This is the final piece of the puzzle! 🙂
I have really appreciated all of the feedback that I’ve gotten from the wonderful teachers across the country that have purchased other lines of fluency from me! 🙂
This last line of fluency is a reflection of suggestions that I’ve received and I hope that you’ll find it’s some of my best work! 🙂
This series of passages is lower and has less words than most of the lower passages in other fluency sets. The text is large so that its easier to read.  Each passage has clip art and or captions to help support understanding.  Several teachers asked me to consider adding a written response to my passages, and I did that throughout this series. Another thing that teachers asked me to add was the level number on each page…so I did that too! 🙂 Each passage is numbered and has a corresponding comprehension standard.
 
These sets are available now in my store.
Reading for Meaning: September Edition
Reading for Meaning: October Edition
Reading for Meaning: November Edition
Reading for Meaning December Edition
Reading for Meaning: January Edition
Reading for Meaning: February Edition
Reading for Meaning: March Edition
Reading for Meaning: April Edition
Reading for Meaning: May Edition
 
Each set has a preview and in the preview is one passage from the unit.  Feel free to download any of the previews and try the passage out with your students!
This is part of the Reading for Meaning Series. They are scaffolded by month. Each month features phonetic skills and sight words for that time of the year. Great for firsties transitioning to independent reading comprehension.
