Reader's Theater

We have been working very hard to improve fluency in 4th grade. Students have been practicing with a rubric that explains what fluent reader sounds like. Students are paying particular attention to Phrasing, Rate, Expression, and Punctuation. Well, let's see how they did...


The Leaf Monster by Amanda McRaney Jenkins
Featuring:  Rhiannon, Claire, Julia, Fiona, Devin, Oscar, and Austin




Gingerbread Boy Uptown by Ian James
Featuring: Sophia, Shawn, Avery, Alvin, Linnea, Xavier, Gavin, Devin, Oscar, and Austin




Why Coyote Stopped Imitating His Friends by Candice Kramer
Featuring: Linnea, Avery, Karoline, Dyna, Phoebe, and River

    Dear classmates,
    Room 12 improved a lot at reading and fluency skills over the months than in the first day of 4th grade. Awesome job class, and keep up the good work!
    Sincerely, Fiona

    Dear Gavin,
    I really loved the way you took in the theme of the character! You did a wonderful job wrapping like the Gingerbread Boy did in the story. It was really nice!
    Sincerely,
    Karoline

    P.S,
    You wrap very good!

    Dear Mr. Pahl,
    That was fun! I especially loved the ginger bread boy uptown. I liked the part where the ginger bread boy was rapping then the old man ate him! What a greedy ginger bread boy. Can you rap like that? I bet it would be hard.
    From, Claire
