student certificates
fluency charts for teachers to plot accuracy with speed
blank pages to write your own words onto
includes some diphthongs
graphemes:
/ai/ /ay/ /a-e/
/e/ /ee/ /ea/ /y/ /e-e/
/o/ /oa/ /o-e/ /ow/
/ar/ /a/
/i/ /igh/ /i/ /i-e/ /y/

I use these after I have taught the sounds and graphemes quite explicitly. These can be a great activity to use in partner reading as students love to time themselves and beat their speed. I laminate these and students write tally marks onto them for how many times they read through the strips although I also have recording cards that they can use. The word lists are also a very handy resource for teacher use.
