Description
Word Flow is a comprehensive phonics-based reading fluency program that is aligned with the science of reading. This program is perfect for students who are not yet ready for Level 1 (150L) of the Flow Reading Fluency program.
The objectives of Word Flow are to:
- Develop automaticity in decoding words according to phonics rules, syllable patterns, and etymology.
- Provide students with a systematic and developmentally appropriate framework to decode words.
- Allow teachers to provide highly-differentiated instruction to a wide range of learners.
What’s Included in Word Flow?
- 10 skills-based units
- Each unit includes 4-8 activities (70 activities total).
- 70 Assisted Reading Video Passages (QR Access)
- Comprehensive placement assessment
- Detailed implementation instructions
How Does Word Flow Improve Reading?
As with Flow Reading Fluency, Word Flow uses the following three strategies to improve decoding automaticity.
- Modeling: Students will access Assisted Reading Videos that model a wide range of phonics skills. These Assisted Reading Videos provide a powerful multi-sensory model for students as they watch, listen, and read along.
- Practicing: Students are presented with critical opportunities to practice their decoding skills that consider their Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Practice activities gradually progress students along a continuum of learning, where students begin with a high level of external support to a high level of independence.
- Monitoring: Throughout the program, students are actively monitoring their progress by recording and graphing the number of words they can read in one minute. This monitoring not only promotes student agency, but it is also highly motivational.

Materials are good, but they focus in just a few strategies of critical thinking, used repeteadly. I miss some more depth and breath on thinking teaching
Very nice product.
I took a chance on this.....I was hoping for something that the student could use independently. But it's created for the classroom where the teacher would speak as s(he) "flips" through the slides.
I'll still use it in my own direct instruction.
I like this, I would love it if I could move things around to match when my kids learn concepts. I don't want kids to have an activity that I would use as a morning work, individual, on-their-own, to frustrate them because this has fractions before they've learned them, or whatever. I had kids who became very frustrated by the fact that they hadn't learned something at the beginning of the year, but it was introduced in this packet. It also meant I had to either do a mini-lesson for them, weeks before something was introduced, or just show them how something was solved when we went over the answers, rather than letting them figure it out, because it was a morning activity. I don't like that about this product. I understand about copyright, however, there are other sellers and products that do allow editing, which I've since purchased so that I CAN tailor to my classes. This was somewhat of a waste of money.
Hello. I hope you will find a use for this in your classroom at some time in the year. I understand your desire to prevent your students from becoming frustrated. I have always found it beneficial to present unfamiliar concepts to my students, as this is representative of "real life". I can assure you that if you do use the first few weeks of the resource as a a guided instruction opportunity (see teaching notes), your kids will catch on in not time and be off and running. Also, please note that an entire 2 weeks is provided in the preview. Best of luck with your school year!
Good resource.
The roles are really clear and the students responded well. I am using these also for information texts.

I purchased this program, however when we try to use the QR codes, it prompts me to sign up and repurchase the program again. Can you please help me understand how my students can use the QR codes successfully?
Hello, Torie! That is very strange. I just tested out the QR codes, and the few I checked seem to work just fine. Is there a particular activity that you are having issues with? Feel free to email me at info@teacherthrive.com if you'd like to troubleshoot this directly.
I have the same question. I was also wondering if this program would be helpful for the K-2 grades, and then when they got to third I have the FRF digital that they use?
Hi Carol! Thanks for reaching out! Yes, Word Flow is geared towards students who are still decoding words but are not yet ready for Level 1 (150L), typically K-1. Students reading 150L and higher will be a perfect fit for Flow Reading Fluency Digital.
I purchased the Flow Reading Fluency digital program from the website. Is this phonics program included in that somewhere? Just wanted to ask so I don't end up paying extra for something I already might have!
Hi Kate! Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind sending us an email at flow@teacherthrive.com with the email address you created your account with?
