Good morning, class! Today, we're going to embark on an exciting journey to become Fluency Superstars! Before we jump in, let’s start with a fun and creative activity that will get our voices warmed up.
To introduce the concept of fluency through a fun and interactive storytelling relay.
Gather Around: Ask the students to sit in a circle on the carpet. Place the plush toys in the center. Tell them that these toys will help us tell our story!
Read Aloud Together: First, read the short story aloud to the entire class. Encourage everyone to listen carefully to how words flow together and how important it is to express feelings through voice.
Time to Relay: After the read-aloud, explain the relay. Each student will get a turn to read a part of the story. When it’s their turn, they can use a plush toy to help them get into character!
Pass the Toy: After a student reads their part, they will pass the toy to the next person in the circle. Set the timer for one minute for each student to read. If they finish before the timer goes off, they can do a happy dance or make a silly sound!
Encourage Expression: Remind your students to read with expression! They can change their voice to match different characters or add funny sounds to make the story come alive.
After everyone has had a turn, discuss how it felt to read aloud. Ask questions like:
Let the students know that fluency is about reading smoothly and with feeling, just like they did today! Tell them that throughout this lesson, they will learn more about how to practice and improve their reading fluency.
Using this engaging and interactive approach, your second graders will start their lesson feeling excited and eager to explore the world of fluency in reading!
