Reader's Theater 2 (Fluency Practice) for Grades 3-4

Learning goals for this class are taken from the Common Core Reading Foundational Skills for Fluency

Students can read with purpose and understanding
Students can read orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on successive readings
Students can use context to confirm or self-correct word recognition and understanding, rereading as necessary

I have a BA in Education from Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) and a reading endorsement from Drake University (Des Moines, Iowa, USA). I have worked as a reading interventionist with the Des Moines Public School District. My role as a reading interventionist was to strengthen learners' proficiency in reading by offering small group instruction covering a specific area of the five pillars of literacy (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension). I love helping students find confidence and enjoyment in reading by creating fun, yet targeted, reading lessons that will give learner's a solid foundation of literacy skills. 

25 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
