Roll & Read Fluency & Freebie
Fluency. A dreaded word at times. But here’s a super fun way to practice your phonics pattern as well as reading sentences. Grab dice (I use both these small foam dice or these large foam dice-affiliate links) roll it, pick a sentence, read it to a partner, & color it!
Whatever pattern we are working on, we take 3-5 minutes each morning to read to our neighbors. Sometimes it gets loud, but that’s why I have the foam dice (affiliate link).
We work in partners and take turns. This way, we can listen to each other and help each other out when we get stuck.My kids eat it up and I LOVE hearing them read! They have a little fun too, because who doesn’t want to roll a dice, read a silly sentence, and use crayons to color highlight words!
Sometimes I put it up on the interactive board and we work together to find all the words that have our phonics pattern before we start rolling with our partners (as you can see, this one below had a lot of different patterns, so we highlighted each pattern in a different color).
I was very intentional about making each page complete with short sentences instead of just words. I noticed my students needing more practice in reading simple sentences, using the phonics skills in context and not just isolated words with the phonics pattern.
