We have spent the first days of school learning all the routines that will carry us through the year. One of the things that we have spent some serious time learning is how to practice our fluency! This little video shows our class doing an awesome job of using whisper voices and reading to a partner. One person is the "recorder" and the other person is the "reader". Partner A reads for one minute while partner B listens carefully for accuracy, marking any works that are not correct. Then, we switch jobs. Partners read the same story all week. The goal is to read more words correctly each day. We are graphing and recording our progress. It has been fun to see how quickly they picked up this routine!
****Rats! For some reason Blogger doesn't want to cooperate and upload my video tonight. I will try again another night. Sorry!!!*****
I took this picture to help remind me where all my kiddos sit when we gather at the rug. I thought it would be fun for you to see where your child sits!
And, last but not least for tonight (since tonight is the first night reading logs went home). My kids laugh every time I say "researchers say..." BUT IT'S TRUE! Researchers say that the best way to become a better reader is to just plain READ! Here is a little visual that I found on Pinterest. This pretty much sums it all up!
Happy Reading!
