1. Warm-Ups
Reading warm-ups help get students ready to read with clear, focused practice. Use them independently during morning tubs or lead the class by calling out pictures and having students read the matching line.
It’s simple, repetitive practice that builds fluency and confidence!
I use Reading Warm-Ups all year—they’re super versatile for practicing phonics, word families, CVC words, and more. They also work great as quick assessments, and there are editable pages to customize for your students.
They’re easy for kids to follow, and as a bonus, they can color the pictures when they finish. It’s a simple way to build skills while giving you time for one-on-one support.
Since phonics programs vary, I included editable pages so you can make it work for your needs! Each set includes:
- 30 reading warm-ups
- 30 assessment pages + teacher copies
- Editable pages to customize
They’re a simple, skill-building way to kick off your reading block!
2. Phonics Fluency Mazes
When I’m teaching phonics to my students, the best thing to do is practice, practice, PRACTICE! Three is the lucky number because that is the amount of times that students need to read something to help with fluency.
I’ve found that combining phonics with a game like a maze has made my students much happier. They get a break from the usual phonics routine, and I know they are still practicing their fluency. It works beautifully for all of us.
This resource includes a variety of phonics mazes, each focused on a target sound. Students read each word, color the sound, and mark off boxes as they go. They can track their progress by completing each maze three times.
With over 50 sounds and an editable page to customize, just print and let your kids shine!
3. Reading Intervention Sheets
It can be frustrating to spend so much time reviewing sounds, only for students to still struggle recognizing them in words. I’ve definitely been there and wondered how to close that gap.
We just want our kids to become fluent readers, right?
That’s why I created my Reading Intervention resource—to give students practice with words and sentences from the start.
They begin seeing how sound patterns connect to actual words. When they match words to pictures, reading feels more meaningful—and they’re more likely to remember what they’ve read.
It also gives them a chance to practice one-on-one correspondence by pointing to each word as they read—something that doesn’t always come naturally.
4. Fluency Phrases
Build fluency with these easy to use sentence pyramids. This method helps students feel more confident, understand sentence structure better, and improve their reading and writing skills.
As a reward, have your students color in the pictures on the page! Don’t forget to have them color in their smiley face to make sure they are getting through the page three times to increase fluency.
This also comes in a digital version with Google Slides included, making it easy to use in various classroom settings!
