Fluency in the "Fry"ing Pan

Fluency in reading is such an important skill.  There are so many wonderful games and ideas online for using Fry words and phrases.  One way that I have found to practice fluency is using these games to have students practice reading words and phrases in a fun format.

I found that I needed sets of the words and phrases to use in many of the games that I have found online. Unique Teaching Resources  had sets of the cards available free online so I downloaded sets of those.  I wanted larger strips with the phrases, so I created sets of cards for the phrases.

The First 100 Fry Phrase Cards




The Second 100 Fry Phrase Cards
 




 The Third 100 Fry Phrase Cards




Since I wanted my students to be able to practice these words at home, I created lists with all of the Fry Words and Phrases on them.  I simply copied the sheets and placed them in page protectors in the students "Take-Home" binders (Moose books, etc.)  The students would work on them at home and would use the games and cards to practice in class.




I hope that you can get some use out of these items.
