Reading Fluency Passages Grades 1-3 — Timed Reading + WCPM

One minute a day is enough to watch reading take off. This 20-page pack brings the classic timed repeated reading routine home: the child reads the same short passage aloud for one minute, counts words correct per minute (WCPM), and rereads it on two later days to beat their own score. Inside are 15 original passages in three clearly labeled sections — five Grade 1 passages of about 40-60 words in short, simple sentences; five Grade 2 passages of about 80-100 words mixing stories and nonfiction; and five Grade 3 passages of about 120-150 words with richer vocabulary. Every passage lists its exact word count, gives a score line for logging three timed reads, and ends with three quick comprehension checks so speed never outruns understanding. A step-by-step how-to page and a scoring guide show parents and teachers exactly how to time a read, what counts as an error, and how to work out WCPM — no training needed — and the WCPM Progress Chart logs all three reads for every passage so children can watch their own scores climb. Full answer key included. Print-ready PDF in both US Letter and A4. Independent practice material created by OmniAura Digital.
