Description
Looking for a quick Halloween fluency routine for 1st and 2nd grade? These 35 self-checking digital task cards pair short, on-level Halloween stories, facts and poems with one small reading job per card. Every card has audio directions and a speaker that reads the passage aloud, so students hear a fluent model before they read it on their own. Students will: - read a story, a poem or scooped phrases 3 times and drag a pumpkin, bat or ghost after each read (7 cards) - answer a question about a detail, the main idea, the order of events or a true sentence (7 cards) - hunt for the words with a vowel sound, an -ed ending or a plural ending, or the words found in the story (7 cards) - type a number, a word, a rhyme or a word count they find in the text (7 cards) - sort sentences into telling, asking or excited voice, put events in order and drag missing words back in (7 cards) Perfect for: Literacy centers, partner reading, a one-minute timed read, morning work or homework in October. Repeated readings build accuracy, phrasing and expression (RF.2.4.B).
