Pre-Primer Sight Word Fluency Strips & Writing Center

Build reading confidence with these sight word fluency strips for Pre-Primer words! Each strip uses short, decodable sentences (CVC/CVCC) so students practice a new high-frequency word while applying phonics in connected text. Use as single reading pages or assemble into mini fluency booklets with a hole punch and keyring. Matching writing pages extend fluency into handwriting and
comprehension.

📦 What’s Included

• Pre-Primer Sight Word Fluency Strips — one target word per strip with decodable support.
• Two Versions — picture-supported strips for scaffolding and text-only strips for independence.
• Writing Center Pages — glue the strip, copy the sentence on lines, and draw a matching picture.
• Assembly Guides — use as loose reading pages or make mini fluency booklets (hole punch at the mark + keyring).
• Suggested Teaching Order — a simple sequence so each new word builds on previously taught words.

🛠️ How to Prep & Use

1. Print and cut the sight word fluency strips (laminate for centers if desired).
2. Follow the suggested order so each strip reinforces prior words for successful rereads.
3. Start with picture-supported strips; transition to text-only for independent fluency.
4. Use as reading pages or punch at the dot and add a keyring to create portable mini booklets.
5. Have students complete the writing page: glue the sentence, copy it on the lines, then draw to show meaning.
6. Bind finished writing pages into a class Sight Words Book for shared rereading.

✂️ Student Steps (printable prompts)

1. Glue the sentence in the box.
2. Copy the sentence on the lines.
