Word Family Fluency Passages

Last year I started writing these silly little fluency passages that would give my students practice at reading our CVC spelling words. I only wanted sight words and CVC or CCVC which limited my ability to create quality stories but I wasn't really concerned with that. I just needed simple, easy stories so my students could gain confidence as brand NEW readers.

I originally listed these passages for sale on TPT with my spelling word pack but then thought that people may just be looking for stories just like I was. Recently my fluency pack has become my best selling item on TPT! :) It was definitely unexpected to see this item shoot to the top but very cool at the same time! :)

I continue to update the file as I write new passages so for anyone who purchases it - don't forget to check back and download the new file! :)

Winter Worksheets for 1st Grade

I have been working hard on some new worksheets for my 1st grade students! They are all aligned to the common core and have a cute winter theme! I just wish it was December already so that we could start using them in class. Hope you enjoy these worksheets as much as I enjoyed making them! :)
