** Choral Reading **



 Choral Reading helps students become more fluent and confident in their reading. The teacher and student(s) can hold the book together or each child have a sheet with the written text. The teacher and student(s) will then read together. Thus, allowing the student to improve the ability to read sight words and provides the reader with more opportunity to practice before being asked to read on their own. Below is an example using //Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain : //

// **Suggested age/grade level: **  Kindergarten - 4th (depending on proficiency level) // // **Suggested language proficiency level/s: **  Beginners and Intermediate //
