You Sound Like a Good Reader

I have a basket filled with whisper phones and microphones.  Students select one of the items and a book. They use a soft voice to practice reading out loud. They record the title of the book they read on the record sheet.

Spotlight on Reading

For this center I have a basket that contains books related to our literacy and Social Studies topics and some small flashlights. It allows students to practice the prosody portion of oral reading fluency.

Students choose a book from the basket and silently Buddy Read the book.  The partners tap each page to signal when they are finished reading  Then they turn on the flashlights and shine light on their favorite part they just read.  The partners must read that part out loud.  Remind students to make sure they turn the flashlights off when they finish.
