Oh, and in case it wasn't obvious, comprehension. Elisa Elisa Waingort Grade 2 Spanish Bilingual Dalhousie Elementary Calgary, Canada
Hi, Are you familiar with the Daily 5? One of the Daily 5's is Read to Someone. There are several ways to do this but one of the ways to read to a partner is to determine who is the more fluent reader. We talk about what this means and it isn't about rate or just getting the words right. In any case, after they decide who is the more fluent reader (kids know), they choose a book to read together. The more fluent reader goes first and after her partner checks for understanding (I heard you say...) the partner reads the exact same page or piece of the text by imitating the more fluent reader's tone, intonantion, punctuation breaks, correct words, etc. I hope this make sense. Elisa Elisa Waingort Grade 2 Spanish Bilingual Dalhousie Elementary Calgary, Canada Hi, I have been unable to be part of the list-serve for some time but am making an attempt to, again, make it a priority. I have found you to be a wonderful asset to my teaching. A group of teachers have asked that I research strategies that work for fluency. Here is the deal. They would like to focus support (however that might look) on primary grade students that are performing below grade level. There goal is around fluency. I have put my two cents in about comprehension and quality instruction but we are looking at fluency for the time being. This instruction would be outside of their literacy block. With that in mind, what are some of the best "research-based, highly successful" strategies that work with fluency? Just want to pick your brain.
