1. Syllable Bingo Game

The Syllable Bingo Game is an entertaining classroom game for educators. Students will be capable of employing decoding techniques, identifying the syllable count in a printed word, and segmenting the word. Differentiated strategies are also offered for kids with varied learning requirements.

2. CVC Word Clip & Match Activity | Phonics & Beginning Sounds with Clothespin: The teacher will ask the students to use CVC word cards that are bright and interesting to look at for this practice. Players are asked to use colored clips to match the right word with the right picture. This can be told apart by having all four letters on the square phonic cards or just three of them. Students who are good at matching can be asked to do all the letters, while students who are still having trouble should work on the square phonic cards that only have three letters on them.

1. "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" story: To teach new words, the teacher will read the book "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" out loud, stressing the different animal names and having the students repeat the words. The teacher will also include activities like sound imitation, drawing, or matching games based on the animals and their sounds in the book. This will give the students a fun way to learn new words over and over again. For gifted students, this game can be changed so that they only have to answer the letters that make up the word when they are called on.

2.Teachers can use Sight Word to help their students learn new words. Teachers will be able to change the meaning of different words based on which kids are playing. A word will be chosen by the teacher from a bowl. The first student to get 4 words in a row wins a gift and calls "bingo." This will help them learn their sight words and hear how the words sound.

1. Fluency: Activities for children

Teachers can give students any book that is right for their age and have them follow these reading techniques. With repeated reading, kids can get better at reading quickly because they read the same section over and over. With help, students can read faster and connect with words better. I'm going to tell teachers to use these methods in the classroom.

2. In Sight Word Spy, you hide sight words in places that are easy to find around the classroom. Tell the kids that they need to find the sight words that the teacher says as part of the game. Students will enjoy this game where they have to listen and find sight words. The teacher can use the sight word-word wall to make this practice more challenging for students who are still learning how the words look.

Snap & Match Phonemic Awareness

1. Children grab an illustrated board and then quickly grab three images that fit the focus sound. This exercise advances phoneme identity development. Given a collection of picture cards, students are instructed to identify the ones beginning with the same sound.
Reducing the quantity of cards or adding more audio cues helps children with exceptionalism differentiate the activity.

2. I Spy Sounds: Children will seek images that share the same first phoneme as the target letter. For each image they discover, they will say its name five times. The objective is to say the initial sound as accurately as possible. This provides sufficient practice for mastering the phonetic sounds of letters.

1. Teachers can use Little Miss Muffet: Sequencing Cards to help students learn how to put things in order, understand what they are reading, and be able to repeat the story. This game shows different things to students who are having trouble and students who finish early. This page has everything you need to know.

2. Three Little Pigs Acting It Out: For this game, the teacher will give each student a prop and pair them up. For this activity, the students will use the props to act out what happens in the story. To help vary this activity, teachers will pair students up in different ways so that each student can get the help they need or be challenged to help less-skilled classmates while still working on mastering the goal.

A simple thing you can do at home to help your child build their language is to read to them every day. This creates a setting with lots of language, which is good for kids' vocabulary development because vivid language interests them. You can make a language-rich setting even more easily by using self-talk and parallel-talk (saying what you are doing). Saying what you see your child doing or explaining what you are doing can help them learn new words and find fun ways to share their thoughts and ideas.

Read Rockets' Vocabulary:https://www.readingrockets.org/topics/activities/articles/25-activities-reading-and-writing-fun: The website gives a quick summary of why it's important to help kids learn new words and suggests things that you can do with them at home.

Learning to read starts kids on a lifelong learning journey, but literacy is more than just understanding the words on a page. Reading fluency involves comprehension, speed, accuracy, and prosody (reading with expression). There are many ways to help kids develop reading fluency, both in and out of the classroom. Here are some of our favorite reading fluency activities.

1. Start with a reading fluency anchor chart

Introduce the basics of reading fluency with an anchor chart you can hang in the classroom. It's a good reference for kids throughout the year. Here are more fluency anchor charts to try.

2. Model fluency with read-alouds

Reading aloud to kids is important for so many reasons, but one of the best is that it teaches kids what fluency sounds like. Adults can model expression, phrasing, pace, and so much more when they read to kids. Try some of our favorite read-alouds, or check out this list of the best read-alouds on YouTube as part of your reading center activities.

3. Hang reading fluency posters

Post these in your classroom reading center to remind kids what reading fluency really means. They're simple but effective. Get your free set of reading fluency posters here.

4. Try sentence trees

Sentence trees are terrific reading activities that build fluency in younger students. They allow kids to focus on each word, improving accuracy and speed along the way.

5. Put together poems and nursery rhymes

Kids often memorize nursery rhymes long before they learn to read. By breaking those rhymes apart into individual words and putting them back together again, kids see how words build into sentences and stories in a natural flow.

6. Use line tracking and word pointers

For some kids, focus is a challenge. Their eyes wander around the page, and they have trouble developing the speed needed for fluency. Use another piece of paper to help them focus on the line they're reading, or try pointing to the words one by one.

7. Read and reread ... and reread

Fluency involves lots and lots of reading and rereading. When kids read a passage over and over again, they build up their speed and accuracy automatically. One fun way to work on expression is to try rereading with different voices.

8. Add a timer to rereading

Combine repeated reading with a timer. Students read a passage for 1 minute, working to increase the number of words they read correctly each time. This is a nice tool for working on speed and accuracy.

9. Track student progress

While you don't want to overemphasize numbers, tracking a student's fluency is helpful to both you and them. Parents can help with this one at home too.

10. Work on those sight words

One of reasons elementary readers focus so much on sight words is that they help to build reading fluency. Find a roundup of all our favorite sight word activities here.

11. Look to punctuation for expression cues

Punctuation makes passages easier to read, but it also gives a reader cues on proper expression. Help your kids recognize what each punctuation mark sounds like when reading fluently.

12. Answer the fluency phone

These are such a fun tool for helping kids really hear themselves read! They're great for busy classrooms and reading centers. Kids talk softly into the phone, and the sound is amplified in their ear. You can buy fluency phones or make them yourself from PVC pipe.

13. Read with partners

Whether kids are reading together or you pair an adult helper with a student, taking turns reading is a terrific way to get more fluent. When one reader is stronger, have them read the passage first and have the other reader echo it back.

14. Get a reading buddy

Shy kids will especially appreciate the chance to practice reading out loud to a stuffed animal pal. Encourage them to read as if their fuzzy friend can hear everything they're saying.

15. Give kids a reading fluency rubric

Use this free printable rubric when evaluating students' reading fluency, or send it home for parents. Kids can even use it to self-evaluate!

16. Use a fluency bookmark

A handy bookmark keeps fluency strategies front and center when kids read. We love this idea for kids who are ready for chapter books.

17. Introduce the concept of scooping phrases

Pointing to words is good for building speed and accuracy, but scooping phrases takes things to the next level. This practice is a great help for developing expression and comprehension.

18. Hold a school-wide fluency challenge

Make literacy and reading fluency something the whole school focuses on. Have PE teachers post sight words for kids to read out when they run past. Invite cafeteria workers to join you for story time. Track fluency and celebrate milestones with individual and whole-school rewards! Learn more about holding a school-wide fluency challenge here.

19. Set up buddy reading

Pair older students with younger students to practice and model reading fluency. Older students can read picture books, which have longer sentences and higher vocabulary that challenge older students but are still out of reach for younger students. The older students will get practice with fluency, and younger students will benefit from hearing picture books read aloud.

20. Use highlighter strips

Highlighter strips, bright tape-like strips that students can use to follow along as they read longer books, can help upper elementary students keep their place. And keeping their place helps them read fluently.

Buy it: Highlighter Strips at Amazon

21. Teach robot vs. non-robot reading

Help students understand the prosody or expression part of fluency with a lesson on robot reading vs. fluent reading. Have students practice (silly) robot reading and then fluent reading to hear (and feel) the difference.

22. Put on a play

Readers theater, with a script or a favorite book, is one way to practice fluent reading. Choose a book with lots of dialogue and encourage students to really feel the story.

23. Use the BEST strategy for multisyllabic word reading

When students get to multisyllabic words, they may struggle to get past longer words like "momentarily" and "topography." Teach them a strategy to sound out longer words:

Break the word apart into syllables.

Examine each part.

Say each part.

Try the whole word.

24. Host a poetry jam

Poetry is a great way to practice fluent reading, and it can be used at any grade level. For younger kids, work with simple poems and rhymes. For older children, use poems from Shel Silverstein or Jack Pruletsky. Have each child choose a poem and practice reading it with flare, then host a poetry jam where students read the poems they've practiced.

Learn more: Poetry Cafe/School and the City

25. Record students' reading

Recording audiobooks for your classroom library is one way for students to see how fluent reading benefits everyone. Have students record reading a book on an audio recording app, and save it for other teachers to use with their students.

Mystery Bag is an activity parents will be able to do with their student at home. Parents will provide a little bag filled with several cards; the child will select a card and articulate what the card depicts. Having alphabet letters arranged allows children to place a picture beneath the corresponding letter of the object's initial. This is an excellent method to enhance communication skills and sound fluency. Children with disabilities do not require a bag; they can just arrange the pictures beneath the corresponding sound.
