Short A- Easy Guided Reading Small Group Lesson Plans for 1st Grade- Print & Go

This is a lesson that is from my CVC Fluency Lessons Bundle. In this lesson you will have one detailed lesson plan, phonemic awareness, reading CVC words, orthographic mapping of CVC words, a high-frequency word, and scaffolded and regular CVC decodable passage. This is a great introduction to teaching fluency while still working on the important skills students need to become fluent readers! This resource is no prep and easy to use!

This isn't an ordinary CVC word list. This list organizes these CVC words into two groups. Words that begin with continuous sounds and words that begin with stop sounds.

You will want to use words with continuous sounds to support beginning and struggling readers.

This is a great resource to use when planning your instruction! Happy Planning! :)
