AM Words Fluency Practice

Foundation and Year 1 students will get a ton of practice reading AM words with these fluency activities. All target words are part of the AM word family. Students will practise reading these CVC words in isolation as well as in context of a simple sentence or passage.

What is Included:

• Word Fluency Strips - These three strips only contain AM words in isolation. Students will practise reading the words on the strips until words are mastered.

• Sentence Strips - The sentence strips contain AM words in the context of simple sentences.

• Sentence Fluency Worksheet - Students will read the simple sentences then pick one sentence to illustrate in the box at the bottom of the worksheet.

• Reading Comprehension Passage - Students will read the story containing AM words three times then answer two comprehension questions and draw a picture to illustrate the story.

• Sentence Pyramids - There are eight sentence pyramids where students will read each sentence, adding a new word on each line.

How to Use:

• These activities work very well in a reading or phonics centre for students to work on independently or with a partner.

• They make great small group activities. Teachers can pull aside small groups of students who need extra practice reading AM words with fluency.

• The sentence fluency worksheets and reading comprehension page can be utilised as homework to send home for students to complete.

Skills Assessed:

These fluency worksheets and activities assess students' ability to read AM words in isolation or in the context of sentences. Students will practise reading comprehension skills with the reading passage page.

The worksheets are print and go, no prep activity for teachers to prepare for students. They just need to be printed out and given to students to complete. The sentence strips and pyramid cards need to be printed and cut apart. These low prep cards can also be laminated for durability if desired.
