We've also created recording stations for students to record their own reading and hear it back, making notes on what they'd like to change, and trying again. And we've started a buddy reader project, where older AIS students practice reading a picture book of their own choosing, and then read the book aloud to a handful of kindergartners/first graders. The older kids love becoming the teacher, the younger ones like "big kids" reading to them. Again, its an authentic reason to practice fluency, and it builds their confidence and makes them feel good to have their former K and 1 teachers see them now as readers. Very empowering.
