Students can decode blend words… but still struggle to read smoothly.

That’s because fluency doesn’t develop from word reading alone.

It develops in connected text.

This bundle targets initial blends (S, L, and R) and builds the missing step between decoding and fluent reading—the Fluency Bridge.

What’s Included:

• S-Blends Fluency Pack
• L-Blends Fluency Pack
• R-Blends Fluency Pack

Each resource includes:

• Word lists (accuracy + blending)
• Phrase reading (to fix choppy reading)
• Phrase ladders (build automaticity)
• Fluency sentences
• 2 decodable passages
• Fluency tracking sheet
• Fluency graph

Instructional Focus:

Students move through a simple progression:

Accuracy → Phrasing → Repeated Reading → Fluency

Designed to fit into a 10-minute fluency routine

Why This Works:

• Builds automaticity in connected text
• Uses controlled, decodable material
• Reinforces skills without introducing new patterns
• Prevents students from moving on before they’re ready

Perfect For:

• Small group instruction
• RTI / MTSS
• Intervention support
• Students who read accurately but lack fluency

Grade Levels:

Kindergarten – 2nd Grade

(Also effective for intervention beyond grade level)
