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*

Use it for small groups, early finisher activities, or centers! My kids always beg to play this game!

This freebie includes the first set which has the first 13 words on the Zeno word list. I teach the 107 Sight Words because they are the most narrowed-down list of the most commonly used words in texts. It is important your child can read these words quickly and accurately for success in reading! 

Included:

• Go Fish Rules
• Set 1; first 13 sight words on the Zeno Word List
• Total of 52 cards
• Endless amounts of fun!

*Prep time is needed. I suggest you print these on card stock and laminate them for more durability. Printing on normal paper will work too! Print the set of cards and cut them out!

For all 107 words buy the bundle!
