Phonics Fluency Notebooks

Phonics fluency notebooks are i of my favorite literacy activities for educational activity students to read amongst fluency too comprehension.

I dear them because they are hands on too interactive too require the students to non solely read, but understand, the story to consummate them.

These truly started out every bit total color fluency puzzles every bit a literacy centre where students read it too lay the events of the story inwards order. I was truly excited past times all the positive feedback I got close how much kids liked them too learned from them... but I every bit good kept getting requests to brand them inwards dark too white for teachers to relieve color ink. I kept thinking, "But why would you lot desire them inwards dark too white? It's a literacy centre you lot laminate too keep." but I wanted to brand people happy therefore I made them.

As I was switching over all the clip fine art to dark too white versions, it hitting me that these would endure awesome for our phonics notebooks! I'm therefore thankful for all the people who requested it because they're i of my favorite things now! 

I unremarkably lay cutting too glue worksheet activities inwards the interactive notebooks from the EW UE UI Activities if you're interested - the ideas inwards that postal service tin dismiss endure used amongst whatever phonics sound).

So anyway!

I printed out the dark too white version too they tally perfectly inwards our notebooks!

Each reading fluency passage focuses on ONE phonics audio at a time. For example, this i focuses on the AR sound:

Students will:

1) Cut out the puzzle (for students who scrap amongst cutting, simply direct hold them cutting across the bottom inwards a right away trouble too non worry close the trivial loops)

2) Highlight all of the words amongst the phonics audio it's practicing

3) Read the story at nowadays that it's highlighted to assist them

4) Read the story over again slice past times slice to lay the events inwards lodge & mucilage them down

5) Write the words they highlighted underneath the completed puzzle

Then, i time they mucilage it inwards too highlight the words, it makes an awesome reference page for their notebooks!! You could every bit good simply direct hold them color too consummate the puzzles similar above, or mucilage them onto something else. If you lot direct hold a dissimilar sentiment for how you lot could purpose these, I'd dear to remove heed it inwards the comments! I dear learning too trying novel things. :)

You tin dismiss every bit good direct hold them brand a tabular array of contents if you lot want! It's non truly necessary inwards kindergarten or source flat but it is adept practise for how to purpose a tabular array of contents.

To do this, direct hold them number all of the pages inwards the bottom corner. Then, direct hold them accept i of the source pages inwards the notebook too write "Table of Contents" at the top. Each fourth dimension you lot brand a novel page, they write that number inwards the margin therefore write the audio you're practicing on the line. I don't purpose a tabular array of contents since in that place are good over 100 puzzles inwards the bundle but I sentiment I'd sketch out an illustration inwards illustration you lot wanted to do one. 

Another neat means for them to decease along their house is amongst a bookmark!

Simply accept a slice of record too a slice of ribbon too record the ribbon to the dorsum cover:

Then, they tin dismiss lay the ribbon wherever they acquire out off inwards their notebook therefore they uncovering it correct away when they come upward dorsum to it, no flipping through notebook pages.

If they don't destination an action earlier fourth dimension is out, I every bit good recommend making a bag to shop their pieces inwards the front. You'll necessitate the source two pages inwards the notebook. Cut one-half off of the minute page therefore staple or record the side too bottoms together to create a pocket. You could every bit good give them trivial envelopes to adhere to the within of the front end comprehend if you lot desire to acquire fancy. :)

I direct hold these inwards a large parcel amongst all of the phonics sounds if you lot desire a total twelvemonth set:

One to a greater extent than phonics fluency notebooks tip for you....

Kids LOVE to cutting too paste, right? I verbalize close this a lot inwards my posts close my math units... but a lot of teachers avoid them because it tin dismiss acquire messy too loud. But it doesn't direct hold to endure at all!

The best means to create out your shape during cutting too glue activities is to require them to remain inwards their seat. Some kids volition cutting too brand a large mess therefore endure nether the tabular array grabbing all the pieces that fell, right?? And therefore there's the nipper who has to become throw away every flake piece past times piece into the shape trash can. Well that tin dismiss all endure saved past times a trash bowl on their table!

Any fourth dimension you're doing an action that involves cutting, direct hold a trash bucket on their tabular array therefore they tin dismiss lay the scraps inwards it every bit they go. No argue for in that place to ever endure scraps on their desk or the floor... too no argue to acquire up. It volition relieve your sanity! These puzzles don't direct hold a lot of extra scraps but I wanted to part this tip anyway because it's SO helpful for arts too crafts activities amongst a i 1000 one thousand pieces. ESPECIALLY because there's ever the nipper that is devastated when they accidentally throw away i of the pieces (I lost my monster's eye!) to their project, right? And all they desire to do is dig through the super icky shape trash total of snotty tissues to uncovering it - um, nope! They tin dismiss hold off through this construct clean paper-only bucket rapidly if a slice goes missing.

One matter that is truly of import to me inwards my phonics resources is that all of the words inwards the passages are decodable. I test to solely purpose words amongst the focus sound, easily decodable words, too only the simplest of sight words (like, to, etc.). I desire the focus to endure on practicing that phonics audio too reading fluently. If in that place are sight words they haven't learned even therefore or hard-to-decode words, they'll acquire hung upward on those too I desire ALL loose energy too focus to endure on reading words/sentences amongst the focus sound. It takes me a lot longer to create passages but I brand an endeavour to ever do that every bit much every bit I tin dismiss inwards everything - my phonics packs, reading passages, everything.

If you lot necessitate to a greater extent than reading passages, I direct hold Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 LOT of them. Here are roughly of my sets:

Short Vowel Word Families

Digraphs

I promise this has been helpful!!!
