UFLI Heart Words Tracker Editable

About this resource

A UFLI heart words tracker you fill in yourself: a blank heart word mastery checklist for the heart words you already teach with UFLI Foundations. Type each word from your own materials, then record when you saw the student read it, spell it, and use it in a sentence, and the date it counted as mastered. This is a recording tool, not a lesson plan: there is no UFLI lesson name, heart word list, passage or script anywhere in this file, and it does not teach, score or grade anything.

WHAT IS INCLUDED - 18 pages: setup, three record sheets, two summaries, two communication pages, a student page, a phrase bank, a filled example, and a binder cover with tabs

Start And Setup

• How This Heart Word Tracker Works - four steps and which page for which situation
• How the Type-In Fields Work - how to fill each column, save a copy per student, and what this file is and is not
• Setup: Groups, Marks, and Your Team's Rules - 7 group rows, 4 marks to define in your team's words, 5 rule lines left blank for your own rules (this file sets none)
• Caseload Roster - 22 rows: student, grade, group, words so far, last check date, next check due

Three Ways To Record

• Heart Word Mastery Checklist - 17 rows, one student: heart word (you type it), introduced, reads, spells, in a sentence, mastered on, check again, note
• Group Heart Word Tracker - 14 word rows by 6 students, one small group on one page
• Practice Sheet for Another Adult - 13 rows for an interventionist, co-teacher or paraprofessional to fill in and hand back

Summary, Communication, And Student Page

• Caseload Summary - 17 rows: words taught, words mastered, latest check, next step in your team's words
• Heart Words Progress Graph - 10 rows, each with a 20-box bar you shade by hand, one box per word mastered
• Family Update - a short note: words you are working on, what was practiced, what to try at home
• Team Handoff - for a new teacher, a substitute, or the next grade
• My Heart Words - a page for the student: 20 hearts, each with a line to write a word, and a "My name" line
• Observation and Notes Phrase Bank - 15 observable-language starters in 5 groups, each ending in a blank
• A Checklist, Filled In - an invented first grader: 8 words, 4 mastered, every number checked across two tables
• Binder Cover and Divider Tabs - a cover and four tabs (Setup, Record, Summary, Share)

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: open it in a PDF reader, click a line or a cell, type, and Save As once per student or group. It also prints cleanly in black and white. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is not a Google Sheets file, a Google Doc, or an Excel workbook, and it does not connect to any UFLI system.

It is NOT UFLI Foundations and does not reproduce any UFLI lesson, word list, passage or script. It does not teach, score or grade anything or set a pass line: every word, date, mark and rule is blank for you and your team. Example students are invented.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by UFLI. This resource is for use alongside UFLI Foundations to record your own heart word results.

Who This Is For

Special education teachers, reading interventionists, case managers, general education teachers using UFLI Foundations, and the paraprofessionals who help record practice.
