This CVC mouth formation fluency strips free download helps students warm up their mouths and voices before reading CVC words. The built-in mouth formation visuals support accurate sound production and confident decoding.
This CVC Mouth Formation Fluency Strips Free Download includes phonics-based fluency strips designed to support accurate sound production and confident decoding. Each strip features a real mouth formation image at the top, allowing students to visually cue how their mouth should move before reading the CVC words below.
Students begin by using the mouth formation as a warm-up, saying the target sound while watching how the mouth is formed. They then read through the CVC words on the strip, applying correct articulation as they blend each word. This routine supports clearer pronunciation, stronger phonemic awareness, and smoother blending.
Using mouth formation visuals helps students who struggle with articulation, sound confusion, or blending by making speech sounds concrete and observable. These strips work especially well as a quick daily warm-up before phonics instruction.
Ideas for use:
• Use as a phonics warm-up before decoding practice
• Add to small-group phonics or intervention routines
• Incorporate into fluency centers
• Use during whole-group sound review
• Send home for extra CVC reading practice
What’s Included:
• CVC mouth formation fluency strips
