Stuck on a word? This Grade 1 fluency worksheet teaches first graders the best strategies to try. Four multiple-choice questions compare moves like sounding out, rereading, checking pictures, and asking for help after trying first. Five fill-in sentences reinforce finger pointing, chunking words, and rereading for smoothness. Together the activities build a toolbox of strategies young readers can use every single day in independent and guided reading time.
