This is another free resource for teachers from The Curriculum Corner.

Have you been asking yourself: How can I track student Fry Word progress?

There are a variety of ways you can work on doing this – here we are sharing a resource that will help you involve your students in the data tracking.

Fry Word Progress Monitoring

We like having our students help track their Fry word growth – it holds them more accountable and when they are a part of tracking data, they tend to get more excited.

We envision each student having their own Fry Word Folder.

As teachers, we must remember that the work we are asking our students to do should be meaningful.

If you have a second grader who has mastered the first 500 Fry words, this might not be the best use of that student’s time. It’s ok to use this tool with some of your students but leave others out if it’s not needed.

You will find the complete, free download at the bottom of this post.  Look for the bold, green words.

FREE COLLECTION! Fry Word Tracking Tools for Students from The Curriculum Corner

Setting Goals

One thing this collection allows for is student goal setting and progress towards these goals.

Students might use the 100s chart or make a bar graph using one of our templates.

You might find one form motivates a specific students while another student prefers a different approach.

Because you will find an assortment of pages, you can let students personalize their data tracking folders.

Using these Fry Word Progress Tracking Pages

In this Fry Folder students will have charts that allow them to check off when a word is mastered. 

You can choose to allow students to check off their own words or ask them to only check off words when they are conferencing with a teacher. 

You might choose to just use a pen or make it special by using a stamp or sticker. Some students might think a special glitter pen or scented marker is perfect for this task.

Along with the check-off pages, we have included Fry Fluency lists that are designed to help students work on their reading fluency.

We suggest providing students with a long bookmark so that they can cover columns and focus on one section of words at a time.

Thanks for all the freebies! I am planning on designing spelling bee words based on Fry's, and these will help so much in holding students accountable to study these well-used words, especially our ESL students.
