SENTENCE
TREES
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
These Sentence Trees are a great way for
beginning readers to practice sentence
fluency. The students will start by reading
the first word. Then, they will add a word
onto the sentence until they have read the
entire sentence. It gives your students
practice reading sight words as well as
building fluency skills.
*This packet includes all 220 Dolch Sight
Words as well as most of the Dolch nouns.
I have included both a color and a black and
white version of these cards. The color
cards are great for printing on white paper
and laminating, but the black and white
version would be great to print on colored
paper before laminating. I print, laminate,
and cut out these cards. Then, I hook them
to a metal ring. The students can use these
as an independent activity when they finish
their work or in a center. They could also be
used for partner reading fluency practice.
These Sentence Tree cards also make for an
easy activity if you have a teaching
assistant that pulls students to practice
reading fluency.
