Description
Build reading fluency one word at a time with these Science of Reading-aligned CVC Sentence Pyramid Task Cards and Worksheets. Students read the growing pyramid on the task card starting with the first word and adding one word per line until the complete sentence is read. Then students can use the matching worksheet to read the sentence, trace it, and build it word by word using cut-and-paste word tiles.
With 89 decodable CVC sentences, this is a phonics center students can return to again and again.
