Field Trip
Reading
Now that we are all developing into good readers our focus is on reading with expression. In order for children to become more fluent in their reading, they have to learn how to read with expression. This helps them to better understand and enjoy the text that they are reading. Many times children can get caught up in simply reading the text correctly, so as teachers and parents it is vital to show the importance of reading with expression. Learning to read with expression requires modeling and providing plenty of practice time. Here is a checklist to help with practicing reading with expression:

Pitch of voice rose and fell ___

Pacing sped up and slowed down ___
