Welcome to Mrs. Cournoyer's 1st Grade Class! We are off to a great start so far in the new year! We will make a lot of progress in Reading and Math. Here are a few tips to help your child become a better Reader. Reading fluency is the ability to read with accuracy, expression, comprehension, and appropriate rate. 1. Accuracy means that the student recognizes most words automatically with little effort or attention. 2. Speed refers to rate of reading, usually determined in correct words per minute. 3. Appropriate expression means that the student uses phrasing, tone, and pitch correctly. 4. Comprehension refers to understanding.
Here are some ways to help your child read-- 1. FINGER POINTING--- This is where your child puts their finger under each word as they read the word .
2. ECHO READING--- This is when you read a line or sentence and your child repeats the sentence after you. 3. REREADING--- Once your child reads a book, poem, etc. let them read it to you again and again. I hope that this will help guide you in reading with your child. Happy Reading!!!!! |
