The most effective way I have found to build fluency with fifth graders is to partner with a younger grade and have them prepare stories to read to the kids. I model the way to read them to the little ones and we talk about what will happen if they DON'T read fluently and with expression. (You'll lose those little ones). Building fluency is just one of the benefits of this partnership...We meet once a week for fifteen minutes and it's the best thing we do all year. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
