fluency-word-list Fluency strips for vowel digraphs. Print and go! A great way to encourage fluency reading at a basic level (word level) that is also fun and engaging for students. 74 pages
fluency word list pack includes;
word strips - 10 words per strip
12 phonemes with multiple grapheme alternatives for each sound
two strips per grapheme
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 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.

Alternatively, the teacher can say a sentence (just like phonic dictation) and the students can write it.
