Lori, I'm impressed. I haven't quite figure out Garage Band yet. I
keep forgetting it's on my computer.

We used Garage Band as a learning station/center in lots of
classrooms. Students had a rubric that could be used for self-
assessment or peer assessment. Very simple (numerical ratings for
older kids and smiley faces for younger kids). Kids recorded
themselves using a sand timer (I think most teachers were using 3
minute timers), then listened and self-assessed. We did not do word
counts.

If you have Mac's, a program called Garage Band along with a
teacher developed rubric and little teacher planning can do
exactly what you describe.

Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Fluency
I'm jumping in here, but I would like clarification. Are we
talking about
oral fluency? If so, then I would argue that it is not necessary
for
comprehension and does not mean that reading is a chore. I have
had fifth
graders every year that fail fluency tests on the DRA2 but pass
comprehension at a level above "benchmark" expectations.
That said, I would like to help a couple of kids perform better
in oral
fluency because they feel badly about how poorly they do it. So
I am
looking for a software solution too- I would like one that allows
the
children to read text into a microphone and listen to
themselves. Lori, you
mentioned one that I was looking at, "Read Naturally"...but of
course money
is an issue. Do you find it cost effective and do you have a
general idea
of cost for this program?
Thanks!
Maureen

"Whenever you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have in
front of you - a tree, a house, a field or whatever. Merely think,
here is a little squeeze of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a
streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, until it
gives your own naive impression of the scene in front of you."
~ Claude Monet
