Nature Themed Fluency Sentences

Use these nature fluency sentences for some spring fluency practice perfect for your Earth Day study.

Getting your students outside on these beautiful spring days?  Then here are some nature themed fluency sentences to go with all of your outdoor lessons and activities.

You can use the fluency sentences and other printables to put together a literacy center for your classroom or for independent work.

Besides fluency practice, here are a few ideas on how you might use these sentences:

Sentence Sort – The set includes statements, questions, exclamations and commands.  Let your students use sentence clues to sort them into the different kinds of sentences.

Sentence Scramble – Cut these sentences into individual words and put each set in a baggie or envelope for students to unscramble and write on dry erase boards or blank paper.

Illustrate the Sentence – Have students choose one sentence to write at the bottom of a paper and then illustrate to show they understand the meaning.

Writing Prompts – Choose some of these to use as writing prompts during a unit surrounding nature.   Students can read them and make text-to-self connections as they write about what it means (or has meant) in their worlds.
