Reading Poetry to Help Fluency

Here are the students of 4C reading their poems together.

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!
