Reading Fluency Brochure - a Parent Handout Great for Parent/Teacher Conferences
With parent/teacher conferences right around the corner I thought I would share one important handout I give to a lot of my parents during Spring conferences.
The inside of the brochure describes what reading fluency is, why it's important, and lists ways parents can help improve their child's reading fluency at home.
The back of the brochure gives parents fun sight word activities to do at home with their child to help build reading fluency.
Simply print these two pages front to back then fold the paper to create a tri-fold brochure.
Not only is this brochure helpful to handout and discuss during Parent/Teacher conferences, it’s also great at IEP meetings, RTI meetings, etc.

Sight Word Flash Cards, Sight Word Parent Notes, & Sight Word Homework Log for Parent/Teacher Conferences
With parent/teacher conferences right around the corner I thought I would share something I always do at my conferences.
I always send home practice pages with parents when I talk
to them about their child struggling in a certain area.
If that area is handwriting then I send home handwriting
practice pages, if it’s in the area of math facts then I send home flash cards,
etc.
Since my students are in first grade one of the most common
things some of them struggle with is reading fluency. That is why I send parents home with these
sight word practice pages. They can use
these to practice building their child’s sight word recognition at home.
Parents are always so appreciative when they leave
conferences knowing they have a game plan in place to help their child improve
in the area they are struggling with.
Here’s a look at my sight word flash card bundle that I send
home with my parents.
I include a parent note explaining what sight words are and
why they are important.
I also include a whole page of ideas on how they can
practice sight words with their child at home AND in FUN ways!
You can also begin to send home this weekly checklist to
remind parents to have their child practice their sight words as homework each
night.
