This CVC digital sentence expander sentence pyramids free download helps students build reading fluency by expanding sentences one word at a time. Ideal for phonics instruction, blending practice, and fluency development.
This CVC Digital Sentence Expander Sentence Pyramids Free Download includes structured digital fluency slides designed to help students read, reread, and build sentences one word at a time. These slides are commonly referred to as sentence expanders or sentence pyramids, both describing the gradual process of expanding a sentence line by line.
📣 Note: This free download also includes digraphs, CCVC, CVCE, CVCC, r-controlled words, vowel variants, and advanced phonics skills, following the same sentence expander format.
Students begin with a single word and add one word per slide, rereading each line as the sentence grows. Once the full sentence is built, students reread the entire sentence multiple times to strengthen fluency, accuracy, and confidence.
Example sentence progression:
• I
• I can
• I can see
• I can see the
• I can see the tan
• I can see the tan cat
• I can see the tan cat nap.
This repeated reading routine supports smooth blending, phrasing, and comprehension while reducing guessing. The digital format allows these slides to be used during whole-group instruction, small-group practice, intervention, or independent phonics centers.
These slides pair well with matching printable sentence expander pages to extend learning beyond the screen.
What’s Included:
• CVC digital sentence expander slides
