St. Patrick’s Day Reading Fluency

Description

32 Ireland Themed Oral Reading Fluency Task Cards with varied sentence types to help your students practice their oral reading fluency! These reading fluency task cards are perfect for small group, whole group, or independent center fluency activities.

The 32 nonfiction fluency task cards focus on Ireland’s geography, history, symbols, castles, attractions, holidays, and more! These fluency task cards are perfect for use during a study of Ireland, during March, or when celebrating St. Patrick’s Day!

I began creating the original fluency task cards for my students to practice their fluency of phrases and sentences. I found a lot of LONG fluency passages, and I found a lot of short sentences or phrase passages, but I wanted something different, so I created these, with various sentence structures, dialogue, punctuation, expression, etc. that students commonly find in texts.

You can use them in a variety of ways. I had each of my students read each card three times (repeated readings) in an independent reading center. I have also had students read the cards to each other, taking turns, in an independent center. I also had a teacher use them to do a quick reading warm up, giving each student a card, and having him or her read it out loud to the entire class. You can use these 32 different times for warm ups, giving students a different card each time!

These reading fluency cards come as BOTH a printable PDF and a digital, GOOGLE slides document that can be added easily into Google classroom, making it a perfect reading activity for distance or at-home learning!

However you choose to use them, have fun! My students and I love color, but these cards print perfectly fine in black and white, too!

Ideal for grades 3+
