On Election Day our class read a play about a group of kids that recently learned that their soccer field was going to be turned into a movie theater. They banned together to petition the city leaders to build the theater someplace else and spare their field.
We used this play to improve our fluency. First, we read through the play and decided who would read each part. Then we read it again paying close attention to the ending marks and trying to put emotion into our voices. This video will show you the final reading of our story. The students' fluency really improved and they read it over a minute faster!
Re-reading is a wonderful strategy!
