PR-6216IRE Reading For Success - Book 1

Fluency
Reading aloud – 3
There are many books that encourage pupils to participate in the reading of the text because of the
predictability, repeated patterns or the rhythmic nature of the text. Provided below is a list of some
classroom favourites. Pupils will often pick up on the patterned text and begin chiming in to help read the
repeating portions of the book on the first reading. Subsequent rereadings encourage pupils to participate.
Even though pupils will have memorised the patterned portion of the text, pupils continue to hear the
teacher modelling what a good reader sounds like. In addition, by participating in the rereadings, pupils are
practising good phrasing and expression. Many of these books are available in a big book format.
