First Grade Small Group Resources:

R Controlled Vowels- AR Word Families made EASY

CVC Words, Nonsense Word Fluency Practice & Reading Fluency included!  Reading instruction and planning made EASY, consistent, effortless, and engaging!

Take the guesswork, hours of planning, and the headache out of prepping for your small group guided reading instruction!

Teaching ar word families and nonsense word fluency practice words has a dramatic impact on reading fluency in early readers.  Year over year, my students achieve benchmark or higher in reading fluency and nonsense word fluency using this amazing resource I created. This ties in to the Science of Reading Word Recognition strands by practicing phonemic awareness, decoding, and sight recognition.

What you get with these first grade small group resources:

• A week's worth of researched-based, classroom-tested ar word family sorts

• Labels for word family sort envelopes (These are the envelopes I use)

• Word work pages to work on segmenting, blending, and handwriting

• Reading fluency passages and assessment

• Nonsense word fluency practice and assessment

• Word family BINGO and word family coloring pages

• Sample small group schedule and tracking sheets to help plan your small groups or for use at home

Just print and teach! EASY!✔️
