Oral Reading

Each day, 2 students from our class go to the Kindergarten room and read the Kindergarten students a story. This is working oral reading fluency. Students have a rubric they can share with parents.
After students read, they fill our the rubric as a self-evaluation.
This time around for reading, students are to work expression in voice, if they can practice that at home.
