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*

This free graphic organizer is great for having your second and third grade students work on using different parts of texts to determine the main idea. Easy to use, just print and use with any text! When introducing, or reinforcing, main idea with my students, I review multiple ways to help determine the main idea of stories.

To find the main idea we:

• look at the title
• look at the pictures
• look for repeated words
• reread the first sentence

My class uses this organizer to list information gained from each of those tips and then combine it together to write the main idea in the middle.

Perfect for cooperative learning too!

• create groups of 4
• assign each student one strategy
• have them share with their group what they found
• work together to determine main idea

Use these phoneme-grapheme mapping charts in your phonics and small group lessons! Two options are provided. One with 4 sound boxes for earlier readers and one with 7 boxes for more advanced patterns.

Our Reading Logs & Certificates are easy to print and ready to use. Once you and your young reader have decided on the amount of reading to be done, use the reading log to record the names of books, or the number of pages the child has read. When your reader has accomplished the goal, fill out the reading certificate and put it in a notebook, on the refrigerator or even in a frame to acknowledge the accomplishment. There are lots of different reading materials for children to choose from. Books are at the top of the list, but other reading materials may encourage reading and add an element of fun. Just for a guideline, some teachers and parents think that reading 200 pages = 1 book. You can adjust your reader's goals according to the level of difficulty of the material he or she is reading.
