Let's face it-As teachers, we NEED more practice for our students in becoming fluent readers. Get the fluent, automatic readers you are striving for with this mega bundle that includes all lessons from alphabet to open and closed syllables in a ready-to-use, print and go chart. These fluency charts are perfect for supporting your learners in Kindergarten through 2nd grade and beyond to students struggling with automatic recall of letter sounds and application.

Ready Reads are warm-up rapid automatic naming activities designed to engage students’ eyes and brains, providing effective reinforcement for ANY curriculum. These charts align with the scope and sequence of UFLI, making them an excellent tool for building foundational reading skills. They are not endorsed by or affiliated with UFLI-they are simply reinforcement activities aligned to UFLI’s scope and sequence. Ready Reads fluency charts can be used in small groups, whole-group instruction with a projector, in pairs for accountability, or for individual whisper reading. They are versatile and can be adapted to an "I read, We read, You read" format.

These activities focus on students identifying graphemes, phonemes, and blending words. As students progress through the UFLI lessons, they will name each grapheme (e.g., "Digraph ch"), articulate the phoneme (e.g., /ch/), or blend the word aloud. This routine reinforces the left-to-right progression of reading, builds fluency with letters and sounds, and forms the building blocks for automaticity and fluent reading.

Take a look at my preview for a better peek at what is included. This couples perfectly with my Scavenger Hunt Series which provides an independent active center aligned to the same standards: Uppercase/Lowercase, Initial Sound, CVC, Digraphs, VCe

Contents:

• Step by Step teacher directions
• Scope and Sequence Aligned to UFLI (not endorsed by)
• Differentiation Ideas
• Table of Contents with Skill and page number
• 68 Lessons in 310 charts
• A letter/sound chart for each lesson
• K-2 CCSS Aligned to Uppercase/Lowercase, short vowels, digraphs, blends, CVC, CCVC, CVCC, Floss Rule, VCe words, Soft c, Soft g, Open/Closed Syllables
• 2-3 Word Blending Charts utilizing skill taught in 3 variations
• 1 chart per lesson with a serif font-the font found in library books
• b/d chart for differentiated, targeted instruction
• A Blank chart for differentiated, targeted instruction

Perfect For:

• Bridging the gap between the fast moving curriculum pace for Kindergarten through 2nd graders and any other student needing rapid naming practice.
• Quick, easy to use, warm up, practice chart prior to the day's lesson
• Fluency practice with letter sounds, vowel sounds in isolation as well as in words.
• Mini Assessment of sounds mastered

Common Core Alignment:

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.1a : I can follow words from left to right, top to bottom

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.2d: I can isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel and final sounds in 3 phoneme CVC words.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3a I can demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter sound correspondences by producing the primary sound or many of the most frequent sounds for each consonant.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3b I can associate the long and short sounds with the common spellings for the five major vowels.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3a I can know the spelling sound correspondences for common consonant digraphs

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.a.3b I can decode regularly spelled one-syllable words.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3c I can know final -e for representing long vowel sounds.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.2.3.a I can distinguish long and short vowels when reading regularly spelled one-syllable words.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.2.3.c I can decode regularly spelled two syllable words with long vowels.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.2.3.d I can decode words with common prefixes and suffixes.

How it works:

1. Before Starting:

Ensure students have already been taught the corresponding lesson explicitly. Ready Reads should follow the previously taught content in accordance with the Science of Reading principles, which emphasize systematic and cumulative instruction.

2. Using Ready Read Charts:

Whole Class: Display the chart on a projector or screen for the entire class to read together.

Small Group: Using printed copies, assign students a row to read. Students whisper read and follow along while another student reads orally. OR Side by side students work in pairs to read their line to each other while the teacher listens to each student in turn read.

Partner Practice: Students can work in pairs to read and support each other, holding each other accountable.

Individual Reading: Students can whisper read the charts on their own, practicing graphemes, phonemes, or word blending.

3. Adapting Formats:

Use an “I read, We read, You read” model. Begin by modeling the reading, follow with group reading, and finally allow students to read independently. All student eyes should always be on the text.

4. For Pre-Readers and Early Readers:

Guide them through the left-to-right reading progression to help develop fluency with the letters and sounds they’ve already learned. This helps in recognizing graphemes and phonemes quickly, setting the stage for fluent reading.

5. Grapheme and Phoneme Practice:

For Graphemes: Students say the name of each grapheme (e.g., “Digraph ch”).

For Phonemes: Students say the sound each grapheme makes (e.g., /ch/).

For Word Blending: Students blend the sounds to say the entire word.

6. Using the Different Versions:

Letter/Sound Charts: In each corresponding lesson, the first chart is the grapheme/phoneme chart. These charts spiral 8 different grapheme/phonemes from previous lessons, so students will continually practice them to mastery.

Word Charts: There are 4 versions of each word chart through lesson 41 and 3 versions from 42-68 : Word Charts through C each include a different set of six words, while the last chart features a serif font. It’s important to use both, as serif fonts (especially letters like “a” and “g”) can look different to students in books, and they need to recognize these variations instantly.

Blank Chart: Use the blank Ready Read chart to customize content with specific letters or words that meet your students' needs.

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.
