First Grade Small Group Phonics and Fluency Units for the YEAR!

CVC Words & Reading Fluency in each unit too! Reading instruction and planning made EASY, consistent, effortless, and engaging!

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

Teaching word families and practicing nonsense cvc 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 cvc word fluency using this amazing resource I created.

32 Word Family units included (over 670 pages!)

What you get with each First Grade Small Group Phonics and Fluency unit:

A week's worth of researched-based, classroom-tested 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 cvc word 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!✔️
