Time to Shine Fluency Passages make phonics-based fluency practice fun and motivating. Each passage is designed to give students targeted practice as new graphemes are introduced, helping them build decoding automaticity and confidence with freshly learned content.

Each A4 dry-erase card includes two passages: one simpler with lower word count and complexity, and one slightly more challenging.
