[Back to School] Reading_Handwriting Fluency Pack

It's almost Monday.

First Monday of my school year.

Some of my friends have their very first day on Monday.

I'm really glad we have 2 days under our belts!

My new littles are AWESOME!

Don't get me wrong, I totally miss my littles from last year (and every other year, lol).

But. . .my new littles are lots of fun and really listen well (for the most part!).

We start formal reading groups the Tuesday after Labor Day.

I want to get a jump start on reading before then.

So this week, we'll be using one of these fluency pages to practice our reading and handwriting fluency.

There are 5 in this pack, enough to get us through September.

They're a fairly simple read.

Perfect for the start of the year.

If you're looking for a quick and easy way to practice reading and handwriting fluency, give these a shot.

Have a great week!

[Reading and Handwriting Fluency] FREE passage

After attending a professional development day with Anita Archer and reading a book by E.D. Hirsch, I realized that I was neglecting 2 very important things in my everyday teaching! Daily handwriting fluency practice and scaffolding/building background knowledge with my children!

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, I'm offering a FREE non-fiction reading fluency passage and handwriting fluency practice worksheet.  Using these daily in my classroom has been one of the smartest things I've ever done!

This FREEBIE contains 1 passage geared for first graders in the spring. This passage may be very easy for some students and very challenging for others. Many of the words are decodable or sight words. Other words are easily taught within the short framework of the passage.

Students read the passage daily together with the teacher to build reading fluency (speed, accuracy, expression). The first day of reading, the class works together to identify new vocabulary (and the meanings of those words!) along with 3 new facts they learned through the reading. Days 2-5 are spent reading the passage and then copying as much of it as they can onto a handwriting fluency page.

This stuff really works!  I have seen handwriting improvement in 100% of my students! Their goal is to write "just like Mrs. Reynolds." They LOVE the challenge, and yes, that improvement does transfer to other academic areas as well!

If you're interested in other passages, please check my Teacher's Notebook Shop where everything is 25% off this week!  :)

[reading and handwriting fluency] pack 2_water and seasons

Remember THIS post?

The one about reading and handwriting fluency?
My littles LOVE LOVE LOVE the chicken page!  It's so funny to hear them speaking about chickens as if they are professional chicken farmers, lol.
They're already asking what we'll be reading about next week!
I figured I'd better get ready - so now, with pack 1 (chickens, rabbits, ducks) and pack 2 (2 passages about water and 2 passages about seasons), I'm set for almost the rest of the year!  :)

Looking for non-fiction reading fluency practice and/or handwriting fluency practice?
Here's set 2!

Water.

Seasons.

2 passages for each.

That's FOUR WEEKS WORTH of reading and handwriting fluency.

All yours for 2 bucks at Teacher's Notebook!

Honestly this takes just about 5 minutes per day and that INCLUDES the correcting of the handwriting pages!

Give it a shot - I think you'll like it!  :)

[reading and handwriting fluency] non-fiction pack for spring

After attending a professional development day with Anita Archer and reading a book by E.D. Hirsch, I realized that I was neglecting 2 very important things in my everyday teaching! Daily handwriting fluency practice and scaffolding/building background knowledge with my children!

This pack, available exclusively at Teacher's Notebook, contains 3 passages geared for first graders in the spring. All are non-fiction.  This pack contains passages about rabbits, ducks, and chickens.  Information for the passages was gathered through various sources.  Passages may be very easy for some students and very challenging for others.  However, with daily reading, students will develop fluency with most (if not all) of the words.  Most of the words are either decodable or sight words. Other words are easily taught within the short framework of the passage.

Students read the passage daily together with the teacher to build reading fluency (speed, accuracy, expression). The first day of reading, the class works together to identify new vocabulary (and the meanings of those words!) along with 3 new facts they learned through the reading. Days 2-5 are spent reading the passage and then copying as much of it as they can onto a handwriting fluency page.

This stuff really works! After only 4 days of practice within my classroom, I have seen handwriting improvement in 100% of my students! Their goal is to write "just like Mrs. Reynolds." They LOVE the challenge, and yes, that improvement does transfer to other academic areas as well!

Whether you're simply looking for a few fun non-fiction passages about animals, or if you want to improve reading and handwriting fluency within your classroom , this pack will work for you!

The handwriting fluency page can be used with any reading passage!

Here's the download for that, free for my awesome blog readers!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!!
