  1. Session 1Reading in the Content Areas Fluency in Expository Text Readings

  2. Question: How many minutes per day do good readers read on their own? What would you guess? Make a prediction and share with an ‘elbow partner’

  3. Answer– a LOT!!!!! (BTW– How many minutes each day do YOU read?)

  4. Imagine if you practiced shooting free throws every day just five minutes each day for four months. At the end of that time, how would your free throw shooting compare to your shooting if did not practice? Reading fluency is the same—time on task improves performance!

  5. Reading Fluency Skills ACCURACY- Involves translating letters-to-sounds-to-words effortlessly and accurately or AUTOMATICITY. EXPRESSION- refers to the reader’s ability to use proper intonation or expression (i.e., PROSODY or QUALITY. Appropriate reading or SPEED according to the reader’s purpose or the type of passage. GOAL – Repeated Readings of the same text to improve the above skills.

  6. CHORAL READING Three types are effective… • UNISON • ECHO (also called “ECHOIC”) • ANTIPHONAL

  7. … ALL CHORAL READING STRATEGIES CAN BE DONE WHOLE GROUP, OR WITH STUDENTS READING IN PAIRS

  8. Why “Whole-Class?” • Individualized reading instruction is typically not possible. • “Anonymity” • Modeling • Efficient • Multiple rewards • Easy to implement

  9. What is UNISON READING? Unison reading is where everyone reads together….

  10. Let’s Practice Unison Reading River Flooding When a fast-moving mountain stream flows onto a flat plain, the stream slows down. As the stream slows down, it deposits alluvium where the mountain meets the flat plain, forming an alluvialfan. Alluvial fans are fan-shaped deposits that form on dry land.

  11. What is ECHO READING? Echo (sometimes called echoic) reading has the teacher or a student (if students are in pairs) read a passage aloud, then everyone else “echoes” by repeating it.

  12. ANTIPHONAL READING Derived from ancient monastic traditions, antiphonal reading has two groups. The first reading group, or person, if they are reading in pairs, reads a passage aloud (usually a sentence or two), and the second group reads the following line(s).

  13. Buddy Reading Buddy reading (also know as paired reading, peer reading, partner reading, and dyads) is a repeated reading strategy that has two students reading together a passage you assign them over and over for a set number of times.

  14. Buddy reading helps students build reading speed with texts in your core subject area, increases their comprehension of what they read, and helps increase vocabulary knowledge. Memphis Striving Readers Research Project (Fall 2009)

  15. TIP: Give ‘em five! 5 minutes ofchoral readingeach dayusing the textbook or other materials will yield great improvements in reading fluency and comprehension over time

  16. Let’s talk about our first CLASSROOM ACTION PLAN (CAP) #1(and then maybe go home for a nap!)
