Join Tup the dog as Jan and her friends take him on a rambling walk to the library where he will participate in “Read to a Dog.” Try and catch the wayward chicken by pretending to be a plant or a train. And make sure to take lots of breaks to read to Tup. You’ve got time to go into the cave and scout around if you want, so put on your caving helmet and explore away. The game is over when you get to The Public Hall for Tomes of Tales (that’s the library in Tup’s city.) You can stop here, but Tup hopes you’ll keep reading to him.

Here, you will find free phonics worksheets to assist in learning phonics rules for reading. These free worksheets are printable and designed to accommodate any lesson plan for reading that includes phonics. Conveniently organized by the skills covered, these worksheets come with answer keys. You may print the worksheets from either PDF or JPEG. Word families can help students use the reading strategy of chunking; instead of sounding out words letter by letter, they can “chunk” letters together that combine to make a sound (e.g., instead of sounding out ‘c-a-t’ students can say ‘c-at’); this strategy helps students sound out words more quickly and promotes fluency. “Sight words” usually refers to words that we see a lot when reading and may or may not be easy to read phonetically. For example, the words the, my, at, and, what, etc. Are all sight words. In contrast, CVC words are easy to sound out and may or may not be words we read often.

The free Ultimate Phonics Reading Fluency Test lets you quickly and easily test the basic reading fluency of anyone, ages 4 to adult.
Can Your Students Read this Simple Test?
You can use this free test to check the basic reading fluency of your students, regardless of age. You can administer the test to a student in around 10 minutes.
If your students perform poorly on the test it means they are not fluent readers. If you have older students, 3rd grade up to adult, this is a huge problem that needs to be fixed ASAP. Until the reading fluency problem is fixed they are blocked from developing into good readers.
This is a good time to review reading fluency and remind ourselves why it is so important for good reading comprehension and higher reading level.
What is Reading Fluency?
Reading fluency is the ability to read text accurately, quickly, and automatically so that most of the attention can be given to comprehension.
Fluent readers read effortlessly and automatically, without getting bogged down with decoding issues. Their reading sounds natural, as if they are speaking.
Why Reading Fluency is Important
Reading fluency is a requirement for good reading comprehension.
Because fluent readers read accurately and do not have to concentrate on decoding individual words, they can focus their attention on what the text means. This allows them to make connections between the ideas in the text and their background knowledge, resulting in better comprehension.
Students who are not fluent readers by the end of 2nd grade enter a cycle of learning failure where they fall farther and farther behind as they move into higher grades. The only solution is to dramatically improve their reading fluency with a complete, systematic, explicit phonics program such as the Ultimate Phonics Reading Program.
Two Types of Non-Fluent Readers
Two common types of non-fluent readers are Guessers and Plodders.
Guessers
Guessers are whole word memorizers who never learned how to accurately sound out new words with phonics.
When they try to read a word they don't already know they will guess, usually by substituting a different word starting with the same letter and with similar length. Or sometimes they'll just skip the word altogether.
This causes poor comprehension because they are not reading what the text actually says. They are changing the meaning by substituting incorrect words and leaving words out.
Plodders
Plodders read slowly and laboriously, word by word. They are better off than guessers because at least they are sounding out new words instead of guessing and skipping.
The problem with plodders is their phonics skills are too weak. They give so much attention to figuring out individual words that they can't keep track of the meaning, which causes poor comprehension.

How to Improve Reading Fluency
For both Guessers and Plodders, the solution is to teach them with a thorough, systematic phonics program, like the Ultimate Phonics Reading Program.
For students who guess, they need to learn the phonics system of English and how to sound out words accurately based on the spelling.
For students who read slowly, they need a lot of controlled, systematic reading practice so they learn to sound out words quickly and automatically.
A program like Ultimate Phonics, with thousands of expertly organized words and sentences, acts as a training program to turn slow, halting readers into fast, accurate readers with good comprehension.
