This Decodable Sentence Pyramids Worksheet are designed for Kindergarten and First Grade students, offering two differentiated activities to cater to varying skill levels. One activity focuses on building sentences from simple words, helping students connect individual words to form complete sentences. The other activity emphasizes comprehension, encouraging students to understand and engage with the sentences they create to develop confidence and fluency in reading. Focusing on CVC words and sight words, which are foundational for early literacy, these worksheets gradually increase sentence complexity to help students enhance their decoding skills, improve comprehension, and build a solid foundation for reading success.

Have you ever wished students in the prereading and early reading stage could have opportunities to be fluent and build automaticity? How can students who barely know letter names and sounds become fluent? Ready Reads are just what you are looking for.

Ready Reads are warm up activities for the eyes and the brain and can support any curriculum. Ready Read charts cumulatively follow the scope and sequence of UFLI and support the Science of Reading. Use these in small group, whole group on the projector, in partners for accountability, or for students to whisper read to themselves. They can easily be adapted in an I read, We read, You read or Your turn, My turn format. Ready Reads can be used for students to say the letter name and/or the letter sound practicing grapheme recognition as well as phoneme recall. For pre-readers and early readers alike, this activity builds the left to right progression of reading and builds fluency for letters and concepts already learned. This is the building block for automaticity and fluent reading.

This freebie gets you started up to lesson 3. Get the full resource for Kinder, 1st, and 2nd to build your students' automaticity here! Kinder here 1st-2nd *Coming Soon*
