This plan targets background knowledge, vocabulary development, grammar and syntax awareness, reading fluency, and comprehension—all critical for supporting students as they tackle increasingly complex texts.

This resource offers a variety of low-prep, high-impact activities designed to build the foundational skills measured by the Acadience Reading assessments (e.g., Letter Naming, Phonemic Segmentation, Nonsense Word Fluency, Oral Reading Fluency).
