Reading Poetry to Help Fluency
Here are the students of 4C reading their poems together.
According to much research, repeated reading of poetry increases students' oral fluency. I reviewed Karen Newsome's research while incorporating poetry in the classroom. Newsome found that "repeated reading of poetry was both a beneficial and practical instructional activity. Students made improvements in both oral fluency and comprehension during the study."4C students enjoyed reading the Bubblewrap poem together!
