Sight Word

Building Fry List Fluency

By Jennifer Bates

http://finallyinfirst.blogspot.com/
 How I use this program

I developed this program because I noticed many of my students were

still trying to sound out their sight words. I wanted a systematic way
to make sure my students were able to read their sight words fluently.
During guided reading, students practice reading their list with their
whisper phone while they are waiting for their turn with me.

I broke each Fry 100 into 5 lists of 20 words. I copy each level of Fry
words on a different color of paper to make it easier on myself and
the kids can easily see their progress.

I consider my 1st graders fluent if they can read a list in under 20

seconds. You may want to adjust your time goal based on the age or
ability of your students.

When a student meets their fluency goal on a list, I award them a

sticker for their star. Once their star has all five stickers, the class
applauds them and the star is sent home with the included certificate. I
color code the certificates as well. They then graduate to a new star in
the next color and start working on the next Fry 100.

 A note about the following cards

I made the following cards to be used with Read for

Speed but they also could be used as flashcards.
Again, I color code mine when copying. That way I can
easily differentiate, making sure the cards I put out
for a group fit their ability level. I further indicated
where you could break them by list within each 100.
To help students struggling to pass a list, I only give
them the cards from that list and tell them to
return the cards to the bottom of the deck. That way
they are reading the same 20 over and over again.

Alternate idea: Player 2 could read the word to player

1 who would have to spell it correctly. Good practice
for both players.
