Fluency is the bridge between reading words and actually understanding what they mean in a sentence.
Many times, students can decode words and master phonics skills, but they can't really tell you the main idea or details about the text they read.
This is where strategic fluency practice comes in.
And that's exactly why we intentionally crafted every single daily lesson in Fluency in a Flash.
Each week, your classroom will focus on 5 different crucial fluency skills - one skill per day.
From playful tongue twisters to silly seasonal characters, these activities keep students engaged while building essential reading skills like phrasing, pacing, and expression.
Take a look at the fluency skills you'll cover each week:
NOTE: The daily lesson format is the same for 1st and 2nd grades, but each grade level features its own unique set of lessons tailored to the needs of that specific grade. 😁
Students practice reading sight word phrases with fluency to learn how fluent readers group words into meaningful phrases.
Students read the same sentence with multiple punctuation marks to learn how punctuation changes the meaning and sound of a sentence.
Students practice reading a short poem as a real-life opportunity to practice good phrasing and expression. They also have the opportunity to practice reading in different styles of voice to make this fluency practice extra fun. You can practice with up to 3 different styles per week.
Students work with multi-syllable words to practice the efficient word attack strategies that help fluent readers quickly decode unknown words.
Students learn how to use good phrasing, expression, and timing to successfully tell jokes. (Spoiler alert: your students will love this!)
NOTE: The daily lesson format is the same for 3rd and 4th grades, but each grade level features its own unique set of lessons tailored to the needs of that specific grade. 😁
Students practice reading sight word phrases with fluency to learn how fluent readers group words into meaningful phrases.
Students read the same sentence multiple times, but emphasize a different word with each read.
Students practice reading the same sentence with 3 different emotional tones.
Divide your students into 2 groups and practice choral reading a short poem. At the end, students have the chance to read the poem to a fun musical beat.
Students challenge themselves to read silly sentences 3 times fast. (Spoiler alert: your students will love this!)
NOTE: For the SEASONAL LESSONS, the daily lesson format in the is the same for each grade, but once again, each grade level features its own unique set of lessons tailored to the needs of that specific grade. 😁

Believe us when we tell you: this method of teaching fluency is a GAME-CHANGER.
We're Emily & Heidi, and we are DETERMINED to help you EASILY teach reading fluency...and make it MORE FUN!
I (Heidi) remember clearly the day I was sitting in a faculty meeting and heard the announcement that I would now be responsible for my students’ fluency scores.
I panicked. 😱
I’d never taught fluency. I didn’t even fully understand what fluency was, let alone why it was important, or how to teach it!
So I read the research and tried lots of different strategies for building reading fluency skills in my students. But I still didn’t feel like I was doing it successfully, or that I could consistently fit it into my schedule.
Until I started writing my own fluency lessons.
- I could make sure the lessons were engaging, naturally inviting students to WANT to practice fluency.
- I could use these mini daily lessons to build a fluency practice system that operated seamlessly every day.
- I could help an ENTIRE CLASS practice and build fluency skills every day, regardless of their varied reading levels.
We KNOW how hard it can be to work on fluency skills with your students. With these mini lessons, you can effortlessly fit in fluency practice into your daily classroom rhythm.
We can't wait to help you save tons of time, teach fluency skills without any extra work, and help your students soar! 👏

We think it's most appropriate for 1st - 3rd grade students. But many teachers have adapted the materials to use for younger or older grades.
If you want to use for younger grades, you'll need to add more support and likely do the routine as a whole class. We offer guidance on this in the resource.
If you want to do this for older students, you'll want to focus on the "big" words they can create with each word family. For example: words like catastrophe for the -at word family. We include a long list of "big" words for each word family.
This system includes 80+ word families!
• Short vowel word families (examples: -ad, -ot, -ip)
• Short vowel ending blend word families (examples: -end, -unk, -amp)
• Short vowel ending digraph word families (examples: -ack, -ish, -ill)
• Long vowel silent e word families (examples: -ale, -ate, -ine, -oke)
• Long vowel team word families (examples: -ain, eed, ight)
• Long vowel CVCC patterns (examples: -old, -ind, -ank)
• Sounds of oo word families (examples: -ook, -ool, -oom, -oon)
• Soft c/g word families (examples: -ace, -age, -ice)
• R controlled vowels (examples: -ar, -ore, -orn)
• Open syllable diphthongs (examples: -ay, -ow, -ue)
• Abstract vowel word families (examples: -oy, -ow, -aw, -out)
Nope! The Chunk Spelling System is a one-time purchase with lifetime access to the materials and any additions we create in the future.
With the Chunk Spelling Method, you and your class will make one collaborative list of words for the weekly word family. That list will include CVC words, CCVC words, and "big" words. For example, cat, that, and caterpillar for the -at word family.
You can differentiate by letting students choose their own words, since many will naturally gravitate to the exact difficulty of words they need to work on.
You can also encourage students to choose more words in certain columns to guide their practice to the appropriate level for their needs.
No, the Chunk Spelling System doesn't need any assessments to use. You can naturally differentiate for students as needed without assessments.
No. This powerful routine will be an important part of your phonics instruction, but not the only piece. You'll also want to do other explicit phonics instruction and practice, like the kind provided in our Word Play Phonics program. Chunk Spelling pairs seamlessly with that, and many other, phonics programs.
