Oral Reading
Reading out loud, and listening to your teacher and classmates read will help you become a much better reader.
You will hear words pronounced correctly, learn how to pronounce them correctly, read with expression, read faster and most important of all, understand what you have read during oral reading.
The Rules
1. During the school day your teacher will tell the timer master to set the timer for five minutes and for the class to gather and organize their novels, calculators, and pencils and paper to write on. This is a very important self-organization lesson!
2.Also, if you are starting a new novel you will need a new bookmark.
3. It is important to sit in a comfortable position at your desk, place your book it front of you, and organize your math tools around you .
3. Open your novel and focus. The first thing you will need to think about is where are we starting today, not only the right page but also, which paragraph?
4. On the first day you are reading a new book your teacher will tell you where to begin. Open your book and focus on the opening sentence.
5.If your teacher calls upon you to read, take your time. Not only do you want to do a good job reading, you want to make it easy for your classmates to follow along.
6. If you don't know where to start or are following along and loose your spot, raise your hand. Your teacher will pause reading and you will be told where to look on the page.
7. Are you having a tough time following along from line to line? Use a (RGS) Reading Guide Strip to help you move from one line to the line below it.
