I have finished the Roll and Read fluency practice sheets for Scott Foresman Reading Street Units 2-5 for first grade. I can’t wait to use these next year!
“The Roll and Read sheets are leveled for differentiation: below level, on level, and above level. (These sentences come from the Monitor Progress section at the end of each week in the Teacher’s Manual.) Have students work with a partner. Partners take turn rolling a dice. Whatever number they roll is the sentence they must read. After reading it, the student paces a tally mark under the correct dice to tally how many times each sentence was read.
To save on printing, consider laminating the sheets or placing them in a page protector and using Vis-à-vis markers or dry erase markers so they can be used again and again!” 🙂

June 23, 2011 at 9:05 pmThat is a really great idea!! I am working on basal activities to accommodate Common Core Standards. But, your fluency activity is ingenious. Great for centers.

June 24, 2011 at 11:35 amI have another question for you about RS. How do you handle spelling tests? Do you follow the phonics progression of RS? Do you make up your own?
Mrs. Magee says
June 24, 2011 at 4:41 pmI do follow the phonics sequence in RS. I use all of the same spelling words/bonus words. All of the students take the same spelling test on the same words each week. I use the same RS phonics skills each week, but I do not do the phonics/spelling lessons provided by RS. I usually make my own activities. Every now and then I will pull out a spelling worksheet if I need to or if I have a sub. This coming year I will also be adding in components of Sing, Spell, Read, and Write.

December 7, 2011 at 10:47 amI love the Roll and Read game for fluency practice. Would you be willing to share the blank template for Roll and Read? I would love to use it for spelling word sentences as well.
Thanks for all that you do!

February 3, 2012 at 12:27 amI am also wondering if you would be willing to share the blank template? We don’t use a basal program. I am thinking this would be a great activity for fluency phrases and sight words.

July 13, 2012 at 7:35 pmI am a new follower and am also interested in a blank template of the roll and read. We use Good Habits Great Readers, but I would love to incorporate this into our fluency routine if you are willing to share. Thanks for the consideration of this request!
