We NEED more phonics practice! But how do I fit it in? You can have the fluent readers you hope for with these Ready Reads Phonics Fluency Practice Activity Charts that provide quick, daily oral phonics practice. With step by step teacher directions, 186 charts over 43 lessons-this Ready Read Pack picks up where the Alphabet pack left off. This includes letter names and sounds review in isolation, and with words in each lesson. Skills covered are blends in context with CCVC and CVCC words, short vowel review words, the FLSZ Rule words, digraphs, long vowels in VCe words, soft c/g, compound words, word endings with -es, -ed, -ing, and words in open and closed syllables. This semester long phonics packet is ready to go saving you time and energy! These activity practice charts follow the sequence of phonics skills introduced in the UFLI scope and sequence in a sequential, cumulative way to support ANY curriculum. Previously introduced skills/sounds stay on the charts for 8 consecutive lessons before dropping off. New skills/sounds are added after you explicitly teach them using your curriculum. Students keep their eyes on these skills/sounds as long as you need them to while building mastery.

Perfect for busy teachers, these easy prep charts can be used immediately in every lesson to build those automatic readers you went into teaching for. The versatility in using them in whole group with a projector, in small group as a warm up to the day's lesson, in centers reading to someone, homework, or in reading to self, makes these charts a powerful tool in your toolbox.

Take a peek at my preview for a better idea at what's included. My Scavenger Hunt series couples perfectly with this resource to provide another independent center with the same content to create a comprehensive double whammy of practice. Individually, you can choose from Uppercase/lowercase matching, Initial Sound, or the CVC, Digraphs, and VCe bundle. If your students are still learning their letters and sounds, you should start with my Ready Read Alphabet Fluency Charts.

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 short sounds with the common spellings for the five major vowels.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3 I can know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3b 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.1.3d I can use knowledge that every syllable must have a vowel sound to determine the number of syllables in a printed word.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3e I can decode two-syllable words following basic patterns by breaking the words into syllables.

✏️CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.2.3 I can know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.

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

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

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

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 or for homework.

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 following the skill taught, 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 flexible, purposeful, and easy to integrate into your literacy instruction!
