Description
I made this worksheet to create that “aha” moment. It’s not just knowing ‘oa’ says /o/, but recognizing it fast so the brain can focus on the story. A simple circling task becomes a brain-training exercise for reading fluency.
Why “Circling” is a Secret Weapon for Reading Fluency
“Circle the word” may seem simple, but it trains the brain to process words quickly and build strong reading circuits.
- Builds Automatic Recognition: This pushes vowel team knowledge from slow recall to fast, automatic recognition, speeding up reading.
- Frees Up Mental Energy: When word reading is easy, kids can focus on meaning, not just decoding.
3 Tips to Turn This Worksheet into a Fluency Game
Boost results with these fun strategies:
- Time It!: Turn it into a game. “How many can you get in 60 seconds?” Then try to beat the time.
- Read It Aloud: After circling the right word, have them say it quickly and use it in a sentence to connect reading to meaning.
- Create a Vowel Team Journal: Keep a notebook of correctly circled words for review and confidence building.
