One of my advanced readers said to me the other day that she reads "better" (less haltingly) when she reads in her head. This after she was reading aloud to me the first Captain Underpants book in Spanish. Because she had read the same book in Spanish she knew what was happening and could now concentrate on learning new words in Spanish. Just another idea to put into the mix. Elisa

They must be felt within the heart. —Helen Keller Visit my blog, A Teacher's Ruminations, and post a message. http://waingortgrade2spanishbilingual.blogspot.com/ I have seen a lot of evidence that often students who read slowly and methodically with prosidy, rereading and thinking carefully, are way better at comprehension than those who are trying to beat the egg timer.
