Phonics Fluency
Use this set of word lists to practice fluency as one part of your instruction. This is for
your students who need extra practice with their phonics skills.
• Use these as part of a systematic, sequential phonics program. As you introduce a
new phonics skill (short a, silent e, etc.) your students will need practice decoding
those words. It starts with words in isolation, then you move to phrases or
sentences (reading in context,) and then phonetically-controlled stories.
• You could use it as “warm up” before your guided reading groups to make sure
these skills are solidified.
• Note: The ultimate goal is to gain meaning from texts. We start with word lists, but
our goal is to always add meaning to what our students are reading. Make sure you
are also providing comprehension instruction in the form or a read-aloud or with
your guided reading books (once they are a little further long.)
• If the word lists are too hard for them, move to the attached set of activities,
where the sounds are broken up a little more.

Rationale:
• When students are focusing less on decoding, they can spend more attention on
comprehension. Some students get there quickly and naturally. Many other need
more opportunities to practice their phonics skills.
• With practice, students will then be able to apply the phonics skills they are
learning to context. Reading in context (phrases, sentences, phonetically-controlled
stories) will cement their learning.
These pages are the same as the file labeled Word Lists, except this one has the
