Reading with expression!

What is a fluent reader? 4th graders could tell you all about it! It’s not just about speed, but appropriate pausing, accuracy and expression. This week we practiced all of those things. We wrote down emotions and character names and read using those emotions or voices to practice the skill of expression. Always choose an easier text to work on this skill because it helps to focus less on the decoding and more on the other fun parts of reading- like expression! Some of our favorites were slow motion, robot (ironic,) a cat and a pigeon! ​
