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/Â /a-e/
/e/ /ee/ /ea/ /y/ /e-e/
/o/ /oa/ /o-e/ /ow/
/ar/ /a/
/i/ /igh/ /i/ /i-e/ /y/
/oo/ /ew/ /u-e/ /ue/
/ou/ /ow/
/or/ /aw/ /au/ /a/
/oo/ /u/
/er/ /ir/ /ur/ /or/
/oy/ /oi/
/e/ /ea/ /ai/
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.

Christmas Reading and Writing PowerPoint - 109 slide PP lesson that encourages students to read Christmas-theme words and sentences. Students are encouraged to say the sounds and blend them to read the word accurately. This also includes spelling and writing tasks. Look at the picture and write the word. Click the mouse (or space bar) and the word appears. Finally, look at the picture and generate your own sentence. Alternatively, the teacher can say a sentence (just like phonic dictation) and the students can write it.
christmas-words-and-phrases includes;
109 slides (includes cover pages)
reading at a word level (digraphs, trigraphs, quadgraphs and dipthongs are underlined)
you may wish to ask students to read one syllable part at a time
reading at a sentence level
The reading component includes a picture when you press a button to see if the word has been read accurately
This activity is great for students who have vocabulary difficulties and do not relate the word to the picture!
For the spelling tasks, students look at the picture (say the sounds in their head) and write the word. When you press a key on your keyboard, a word will appear
For writing a sentence - look at the picture and students can write a sentence on their whiteboards or in their writing books alternatively, just do it as a dictation activity you can use this lesson daily over a two or three week period leading up to Christmas as a great warm-up lesson.

This unit fits well with the literature unit ‘What the ladybird heard’ which I have created in my store.
Please provide a review.
the-ladybird-who-heard An interactive PowerPoint SHOW that students play in the form of a search and reveal. Questions to be used for the story ‘What the ladybird heard’ by Julia Donaldson.
Comprehension questions are given and students press the star to reveal the answers. When the student has seen the three answers to choose from, they press the correct answer button. Correct answers lead them to the next question. Incorrect questions take them back to read the question again.
This is a nice game to play with the whole class to check for understanding. Also, a great exit game. I have tried this with my own Year One class and they have loved playing this. You can extend the questions by asking students to explain why they selected their answers.
Includes:
20 comprehension questions (direct and indirect).
