Here are two very simple ideas for helping kids to practice fluency! 

First, I love all of the large Scholastic News Magazines that come with our Let’s Find Out packet.  AND I love to utilize all of the predictable text in each little graphic block inside the large leaflets.  I realize there are some fabulous posters that you will not want to cut apart, so just scan the inside! I laminate all of the “pages” after cutting out all blocks, including a small student leaflet sized cover, then put the cover in the front of a binder and hole punch the pages for the book.  Voila! Instant familiar word reader! Love how these are seasonal.  They make a great addition to any library.  

      

 And, my next idea: 

Do you use slideshows to help teach concepts? I use them to teach alphabet (letter and sound), number identification, and sight words.  I print a hard copy of every slide and make a “manual” slideshow for students to access during center time.  They love to grab a favorite pointer and progress through their own slideshow.  Again, I put the slides back to back in sheet protectors, then put them in the binder.  I include a beginning slide for the cover insert, then put the slides in order of the slideshow. Later on, I mix the pages so students learn the words, rather than memorize the order of a listing of words.  I want to be sure they really know the words! 
 *** Updated information: When you arrange the slide pages for the sheet protectors, be sure to put them back to back with one right side up and the other upside-down (two back to back pages in one sheet protector).  This way, students can orient the binder on its side, then flip the pages with  the pages on the back always right side up! Hope this makes sense.
