We have discovered that 
one way readers build 
their reading power is by 
reading aloud to yourself 
and others.
Be Prepared 
In a few days, each 
of you will read 
aloud a short text to 
demonstrate your 
reading 
superpowers.
It is important that our 
reading is fluent so that the 
audience can understand 
the meaning. 
Fluency is another skill we 
will add to our reading 
powers.
My Read A loud Ex am ple 
And nonsense and 
knowledge 
came tumbling out, 
whispering mysteries, 
history's shout, 
the wisdom of wizards, 
the songs of the ages, 
all wonders of wandering 
wonderful pages.
