Reading Racers

These activities are courtesy of Debbie Towne, a wonderful reading teacher. Please note that the kindergarten word lists have been taken from two sources: Fountas and Pinnell and the Houghton Mifflin Reading Series and the first grade list comes specifically from Houghton Mifflin. If you would like a special list for your student population, please let me know and I'll try to accommodate your needs. Just send me your list at carl1404@msn.com or ask for a blank template so that you can make your own. For a complete list of Houghton Mifflin's first grade list, go to http://teachers.misd.k12.wa.us/ip/kchew/documents/high_freq_words.pdf.
