Bill and all-- Our district has found that using oral fluency practice is really helping kids with comprehension. My teachers love Reader's Theater and there is so much available in all content areas that it is quickly becoming the strategy of choice!
I was in a science classroom yesterday where the kids were doing choral reading using Paul Fleishman's "Joyful Noise." The poems are all about insects and are written for two voices. The kids were having a blast! The teacher then quickly flipped it into a science lesson by asking the kids what they had learned about insects from the poems. The list was incredible! mary anne ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.
