Open and Closed Syllables Fluency Games

Did you know that fluent reading is one of the key components to unlocking comprehension? It’s very true.

It can be very difficult for a young {or struggling} reader’s brain to unlock the meaning of the text if their brains must be so focused on what the letters or words are. If you play a musical instrument, you know that it’s a lot like asking a musician to sight read a piece for the first time AND include phrases and expression.

That’s why it’s important to develop reading fluency with re-readings. That’s where these NO PREP games can help!

These FREE open and closed syllables fluency games are different than your typical game board, though.

To play a typical game, learners roll a die, move their marker, then read just the one word they landed on. Not with these boards!

Instead, learners roll a die, move their marker, then read all the spaces from “Start” to the space they landed on. And if you feel your learners are up for a challenge, have them start on the space they landed on and read each word back to “Start.”

Did you notice the subtle difference? Because learners are reading the words repeatedly throughout the entire game, they are getting some good fluency practice in recognizing and reading words with open and/or closed syllables.
