Reading fluency is the ability to read text smoothly and with expression. It is important because it helps us understand what we read better. Today, we will read a short story together and practice reading it out loud. We will focus on how to use our voices to show feelings and meaning in the text.
Let's read the story 'The Brave Little Mouse'. As we read, pay attention to how the mouse feels in different parts of the story. For example, when the mouse is scared, we can read that part softly and quickly. When the mouse is happy, we can read it loudly and slowly. This helps us express the emotions in the story.
Now, let's split into small groups. Each group will take turns reading a paragraph from 'The Brave Little Mouse'. Remember to use your voice to show the feelings of the characters. After each group reads, we will discuss how they expressed the emotions and what punctuation marks helped them.
For your independent practice, write three sentences about your favorite animal. Use at least one punctuation mark in each sentence. After writing, practice reading your sentences out loud, focusing on how to express the feelings of your animal. You can share your sentences with a partner and discuss how to read them with expression.
