Read stacks that build Mom and I bake a cake and The cake is for Dad, then trace and copy both. The directions on the page read: An adult reads each line first. Then, read each line with an adult.

In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Reading fluency is reading smoothly and with expression instead of one slow word at a time. In kindergarten it grows from rereading the same few sentences with an adult, which is what CCSS RF.K.4 asks: reading emergent reader texts with purpose and understanding.

Each stack adds one word per line, from The to The dog can run fast. The adult reads each line first and the child reads it with the adult, then they read the whole stack 3 times. Hearing the sentence grow shows how words join into one smooth sentence.
