Phrased Reading & Helpful Home Connections


Being a parent of a Kindergarten, I am so pleased when power points, websites, and apps are sent home.  Tonight I searched for some helpful sites to educate you on fluency and provide some meaningful practice for your child or student.  Ironically, the first website I came across was "Mrs. Warner's 4th grade class".  If you read my profile, I spent 7 years teaching fourth grade.  No, this is not my website but it's worth visiting.  I believe that my experience in fourth grade fueled my desire to go back to school to focus on literacy development.

What research says...Fluency is only worth teaching if it fosters comprehension...

This is what scooping phrases looks like...At the end of each scoop, pause.
