• Readers’ Theatre- Students dramatize a short story, poem, or song. After reading the original text,<br />
students create a script. They decide how to portray the characters, rehearse the script, and then<br />
perform for the class.<br />
• Taped reading<br />
• Timed Repeated Reading- Students select a 100-word passage of text and read for both reasonable<br />
speed and accuracy. Students repeat this process in an attempt to increase number of words per<br />
minute read and decrease number of errors made. Attempts are charted to measure growth.<br />
• Paired Reading- Students read back and forth in pairs.<br />
• Expert Reading- Students select a given page of text that they rehearse for fluency and accuracy in<br />
oral reading.<br />
• Poetry<br />
• Sustained Silent Reading- Students read independent level text for a sustained period of time.<br />
Follow up activities include reader response logs, book talks, and recording text read in a reading<br />
log.<br />
• Radio Reading- Students rehearse reading a passage with expression, fluency, attention to<br />
punctuation, etc. for oral reading. Similar to Radio Theatre, the task is to bring the story to life for<br />
people who do not have access to the book. Recording this on tape recorder is effective.<br />
