- Fluency passages - Instant Word Lists were created by Dr. Edward Fry. The Fry word list or “instant words” are widely accepted to contain the most used words in reading and writing. According to Fry, the first 300 words (groups 1-12) represent about 67% of all the words students encounter in their reading. Groups 1-4 are words that first grade students should know, groups 5-8 are words that second grade students should know, groups 9-12 are words that third grade students should know, and groups 13-24 are words that fourth grade students should know. It is important for young readers to instantly recognize these words by sight in order to build up their reading fluency. It is also important for readers to practice words in meaningful context through phrase and sentence reading practice. As a follow up activity, students can practice writing short sentences including Fry words.

- https://readconmigo.org/es/library- Read Conmigo was created after discovering that many Latino parents, grandparents and guardians who do not even read English easily, refrain from reading to children in Spanish at home. Many studies show that the family plays a very important role in children's literacy. According to the National Education Association, 26% of children who were read three or four times a week for a family member, recognizing the alphabet. Compare that with 14% of children who are read less often.Read Conmigo books offer new and entertaining stories in English and Spanish; and Latino parents can read with their children. Parents who have children, from toddlers to 5th grade, can subscribe to receive free books available online, in print or on mobile devices. Read Conmigo has distributed nearly one million books to families, schools and libraries around the country.
