French Decodable activities that align with the Science of Reading in the K-2 French classroom. Students work on their phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, decoding and encoding skills and as they master the target sound. Make a few copies of each card and insert into clear pockets to create a quick and easy reading centre; arrange a table with four copies to create a quiet reading group; use one-on-one with your students to assess reading levels, to gain insights to their decoding skills, encoding skills, and to inform your upcoming lesson plans. Students use whiteboard markers to sound out each sound in the word, each syllable, or each word in the sentence. What a great way to build confidence! Whatever way you choose to use this resource, I am so grateful that you have given this item a try!

Science of Reading:

These sentence strips are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven sentence strips on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple sentence strips to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

Sentences are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

***1. French SOR Sound Cards

***2. French Decodable Reading

***3. Roles et Responsabilites

Fry Sight Words Checklists, Sight Words Flash Cards Bundle: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd 100
This comprehensive bundle offers a progressive approach to sight word mastery, comprising the first three sets of 100 Fry sight words.

Key Features
Each checklist within this bundle maintains a meticulous design with 9 columns per page, allowing educators to effectively track progress and conduct thorough assessments across multiple trials. Both full-color and black-and-white versions are included, ensuring adaptability to diverse printing needs, making them suitable for various classroom settings.

Focused Goal Setting

Complementary Practice Tools
Accompanying these checklists are dedicated flashcards specifically designed for each set of 100 Fry sight words. These supplementary resources provide essential reinforcement and support for consistent and effective practice sessions.

Why This Bundle Matters
By combining the initial 300 Fry sight words, this bundle lays a solid foundation for advancing reading fluency, boosting language proficiency, and nurturing overall reading development. It's an indispensable resource for educators aiming to support students in their journey toward sight word mastery and improved literacy skills.

Advantages of Fry Words over Dolch Words The Fry Sight Words list is organized into 10 groups of 100 words each, covering the most frequently used words in writing. Starting with the initial 300 words in early education significantly boosts reading and comprehension skills. While Fry words aren't strictly tied to specific grades, they're usually introduced in sets of 100 words to support gradual sight word recognition. Here's a general guide for introducing these sets:

• First 100 Fry Words: Typically introduced in kindergarten and first grade.
• Second 100 Fry Words: Taught in first or second grade, reinforcing foundational words.
• Third 100 Fry Words: Added in second or third grade, including more complex words.
• Fourth 100 Fry Words: Introduced in third or fourth grade, advancing vocabulary.
• Fifth 100 Fry Words: Presented in fourth or fifth grade, offering more challenging words.

The 6th to 10th sets of 100 Fry words are usually introduced later, depending on the student's mastered words.

Beyond the primary grades teachers often seem to forget about checking students reading fluency. This is a simple to use form for students to provide themselves a self-feedback on their read aloud fluency. Teachers can then use the same form to provide their own feedback on the students reading fluency. File states to use Audacity (a free download online) but other recording programs/devices may be used - this is just a personal choice/what is available on our school computers. Included in this package is how I used this program successfully in my classroom. Please don't forget to take a look at the other items I have available in my store!
