Help your pupils increase their fluency using the following activity.<br />

1. Instruct a pupil to practise reading a text passage that is at his or her independent reading level.<br />
2. After practising, the pupil records his or her reading of the passage.<br />
3. Then the pupil listens to the recording through headphones while following along with the passage.<br />
4. Encourage the pupil to pay attention to his or her reading rate, accuracy and smoothness of reading.<br />
5. After reviewing the recording, the pupil records the passage again to try to make improvements.<br />
Audio books<br />
Many children’s books are available on CD. These books are often accompanied by the printed <strong>for</strong>ms of the<br />
books. You can also record your own books <strong>for</strong> pupils.<br />
Materials<br />
• audio recording of a children’s book<br />
• printed <strong>for</strong>m of the book<br />
• CD player<br />
• headphones<br />
1. Set up a listening centre with a CD player and headphones.<br />
2. At the centre, a pupil plays the CD and follows along in the book as the narrator reads.<br />
3. Remind the pupil to pay attention to the smooth way in which the narrator reads and the expression<br />
in the narrator’s voice.<br />
4. Provide different kinds of audio books <strong>for</strong> the pupils to enjoy. The more examples of smooth,<br />
accurate reading a pupil experiences, the better he or she will learn to read fluently.<br />
