Digital Fry Phrases - Fluency Practice for Distance Learning

 


Do your students need fluency practice during remote learning? Of course they do! Fluency isn't the most exciting thing to practice and other than reading books and passages, there's not a lot for kids to do at home to practice fluency.


I love using Fry words to practice, but real reading isn't just words in isolation. I created my Fry Phrases Pack several years ago for fluency practice. (Click on the pictures to see the print version in my store). But since we're all teaching either partially or fully remote, we just don't have as much time in the classroom to do ALL.THE.THINGS. 

I thought, how can I use my Fry Phrases so kids can do them digitally? And my Digital Fry Phrases for Google Classroom were born! This video is a snippet from List 1.


I made them for Google Slides, and I wanted kids to be able to hear and then repeat the phrases. I included automatic sound so when they advance the slide, it automatically reads the phrase to them and then they can repeat it. I realized that some kids would not need to hear them before reading themselves so I made versions for each list with no sound. 

There are 1000 Fry words, listed in order of frequency in the English language. They are divided into 10 lists. I created the digital phrases for each list 1-6. I am working on the digital lists 7-10. (I have the print form of lists 1-10). Click on the pictures to see the printable lists for 7-10 in my store.





Here's a video of my Digital Fry Phrases in action!
