Combat the Summer Slide
Tales2Go Newsletter - May 2014
Listening to audio books builds vocabulary and fluency... even on the beach!
Effectively, there is a link between hearing fluent words, vocabulary acquisition and retention and reading proficiency. Thus audio books are a great way to fight the summer slide.
Feel free to review and share our new Summer Slide Infographic with friends, family and colleagues.
Shout out to W.J. Gurganus Elementary School
"End of year reading benchmarks indicate that 18 of my 21 students met or exceeded fluency requirements for 3rd grade (i.e., 100 Words Read Correct (WRC) per minute, and the other three were at 97 WRC). In comparison, 76% of 3rd graders at my school are proficient or higher for fluency, with 8% being far below grade level expectations. My children's retell ability skyrocketed! Not only can 100% of my students adequately retell a story that was read with detail and in sequential order, but on average, tripled the required 30 word limit. I attribute their success and new found literacy skills to Tales2Go." ... and their really awesome teacher!
