Fluency practice!

Hi friends!

We've been working really hard on fluency and inflection in our voices lately in class. I *love* using this quick,easy peasy, fast, effective, and engaging {can you tell I puffy heart love it?!} fluency activity with my kiddos.

I just write sight words with a punctuation mark after each one down a sentence strip.

Yep. 

It's that easy.

And it REALLY helps my kids to recognize the change in their voice when reading. Early on in the year I do this same thing with letters, but we're past that point now. You could easily do this with CVC or CCVC words, etc. to make it suit your students best. I could use complete sentences, but when I really want them to practice with punctuation, I whip these puppies out and practice. It's a great warm-up at teacher table!

READ week!

Happy birthday Dr. Seuss!
I was at Target today and picked up a few (or 7) Dr. Seuss books for one of my very best friends' soon-to-be baby! Being a teacher and all... I feel like it's my obligation to give books as baby shower gifts (along with other baby goodies!). Is anyone else with me?!

If you want to see my plans for the week, visit my post last year. I'm doing most of the same things plus some new extra activities! I made these cute little fluency fans for this week in particular. Head over to TpT to snag them up for free!
