Phonics and Fluency Review

About this worksheet

Printed as Phonics and Fluency Adventure, this 2nd grade review runs three short tasks across 3 pages. Students read cat, cake, fish and tree under matching pictures and circle Short or Long for each vowel. Next they draw lines joining un and re to happy and build, and play to ing. The last part is a partner read about a brave knight who must rebuild his favorite wall after a dragon knocks it down, with two questions on the words unhappy and rebuild. The tasks follow Common Core RF.2.3a, RF.2.3d and RF.2.4b, and an answers page closes the set.

Curriculum objectives covered

RF.2.3a

“Distinguish long and short vowels when reading regularly spelled one-syllable words.”

Vowel Sounds: students decide whether cat, cake, fish and tree have a short or a long vowel.

RF.2.3d

“Decode words with common prefixes and suffixes.”

Word Builder: un + happy, re + build and play + ing, then unhappy and rebuild again in the story questions.

RF.2.4b

“Read grade-level text orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on successive readings.”

Silly Story Fluency asks students to read the knight story aloud to a partner, smoothly and with expression.

RF.2.4c

“Use context to confirm or self-correct word recognition and understanding, rereading as necessary.”

Question 2 asks students to use context clues in "He had to rebuild the wall" to choose what rebuild means.

What's inside this worksheet

Vowel Sounds

Four pictures with the word printed underneath. Students read each one aloud and circle Short or Long. Cat and fish are short, while cake and tree are long.

Word Builder

A two-column matching task. Students draw lines from un, re and play to happy, build and ing to make unhappy, rebuild and playing.

Silly Story Fluency

A short story to read aloud with a partner, beside a picture of the knight at his broken wall. Question 1 asks for the word that means "not happy". Question 2 gives two choices for the meaning of rebuild.

How teachers use it

Quick phonics check

The Vowel Sounds row takes about two minutes and shows who hears the silent e in cake. A student who circles Short for cake needs more CVCe practice before vowel teams.

Partner reading

Pair a stronger reader with a developing one for the knight story. One reads it through, the other reads it back, and then they answer the rebuild question together.

Fix the typo first

Cross out "who" in the printed line "He who lived in a big castle." before you copy, or hand that sentence to early finishers as an editing job.
