Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR)

The Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) is a research institute that also shares a huge trove of free, downloadable reading activities and assessment tools for K–5. Originally developed for teachers, its task cards and games target specific skills—phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension—using simple materials like cards and dice. Homeschool parents love that they can print just the activities they need instead of buying multiple commercial programs. The materials look a bit school‑ish and require some prep, but they’re grounded in solid reading science. For families willing to laminate, cut, and organize, FCRR can provide an entire year’s worth of literacy centers at printer‑ink prices.
