5. Fluency
• Good readers use intonation to emphasize the meaning of the
words the read. You should sound natural as you read nonfiction.
• emphasize important words
• look for end and other punctuation
• I’m going to read pg. 377 in “ A Tree Is Growing”. The first sentence
tells me what a tree needs to grow. The words sunlight, air, soil,
and water are important, so I will emphasize them. I also see that
there are commas between each of the words in the list, so I will
pause slightly between the words.
• Now let’s echo read the passage.
• Turn to page 379-380, each group will have a part the choral read.
