As a 1st grade teacher in a high poverty school, I am always looking for ways to help my students increase their reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. This 5 day packet includes a new fluency passage for each day with "Power Words" to encourage vocabulary development. Each passage includes comprehension questions, a parent checkoff section and some other type of supplemental language arts activity. This weeks packet includes two poems and three non-fiction passages.
This would be beneficial as a general supplement to your reading program, as a reading intervention for high achieving 1st graders or 2nd graders, a literacy center, or as a take home packet. I hope you find it as useful as I do. (This is also Week 3 of the February monthly packet.)
This is exactly what I was looking for. This will help me work with my higher students in first grade. Thanks!

I love the reading practice. It is excellent for small group instruction.
Although I double checked, I thought I didn't have these yet so I ordered them. (That's how much I love them.) Only to find out these were already included in one of the set I bought. Thanks anyway!

I love your fluency packets. Unfortunately, I didn't realize when I bought the presidents and Valentines packets that they were already included in the February one. Is there any way I can "return" those two packets for a refund, or possibly apply the cost of them to your March fluency packet?
I have been a teacher for 10 years. I have taught Art, 1st grade and 3rd grade, but my heart is definitely in 1st. I love to create things that I think will make learning more fun for my students.
