Fun With Fluency

Teacher: Miss Dyche


Subject Area: Reading
Grade Level: 4th grade
Unit Title: Reading Fluency
Objectives:
The students will watch a video example of a child reading and
acting out Robert Munschs Mortimer while reading
expressively, with inflection, and pacing, appropriate use of
punctuation.
The students will read paired readings, poems, and jokes in
groups of 2-3 while reading in different voices, volumes, or doing
actions that are written on cards given to each group.
Standards:
1. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.4.4 Read with sufficient accuracy and
fluency to support comprehension.
2. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.4.4b Read grade-level prose and poetry
orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on
successive readings.
Materials/Resources Needed:
Computer to play the story Mortimer, by Robert Munsch on You
Tube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoUurjLQ8vc
Flash drive with the link of the video.
Fluency Action Cards (One for each group of students).
Herbert Glerbert by Jack Prelutsky Poem (One for each group of
students).
Snowball Poem Shel Silverstein Poem (One for each group of
students).
My Neighbors Dog is Purple by Shel Silverstein Poem (One for
each group of students).
Paul Bunyan Paired Reading (One for each group of students).
The Three Bears Paired Reading (One for each group of
students).
Silly Jokes Cards (3) (One for each group of students).
Anticipatory Set:

Students will come into the room from lunch and go to their
Target Reading room. The students who enter Mrs. Rogers Target
Reading room will see that the projector is on showing a You Tube
video.
Teacher will remind students that they have been working on
their fluency while reading (reading with expression, inflection,
pacing, etc.). The video will be introduced as a good example of
a child reading and acting out a funny story with expression.

Objective/Purpose:
Explain to students that we are going to keep in mind what the little
boy from the video did to read expressively, with inflection, and
appropriate pacing. Using the boy as a good example, we will read
poems, paired readings, and jokes while changing our inflection,
volume of reading, different voices, and acting out the readings with at
least 80% accuracy.
Input:

the video the teacher will ask:


How was the little boy reading with fluency?
What did he do when the character was excited?
What was the moral of the story?
How can we become more fluent readers?

Model:
1. Separate the class into groups of 2 or 3 depending on the size of
the class.
2. Give each group a baggie filled with a set of paired readings,
poems, and jokes, as well as a baggie of fluency action cards.
3. Explain to the students that they are going to take turns reading
poems, jokes, and paired readings to each other. Each time they
have a passage of reading, they have to draw a card from the
fluency actions cards baggie.
4. When they draw a card from the fluency cards baggie, they must
complete the action listed while reading the passage. They may
pass once if they do not feel comfortable doing a specific action.
(Example: Singing in an Opera Voice).
5. Groups will take turns reading the passages until the cards are all
read.
Check for Understanding:
Ask students how they were using reading fluency while reading. Were
they changing their inflection? Were they changing their voice to
match a specific character? Were the students using appropriate
pacing while reading? Were the students speaking the punctuation

appropriately? Students will be assessed by observation of each group.


Students must actively participate in the activity and perform the
fluency tasks associated with each reading passage. They must go
through all of the reading passages and corresponding fluency task
cards as a group with at least 80% accuracy.
Closure:
We learned today how to become more fluent readers by reading
expressively, with inflection, pacing, and appropriate punctuation.
Fluency will be built upon when you enter the 5th grade as well as other
grades when you read aloud. The more you practice reading with
fluency, the better readers you will become!
Independent Practice:
Encourage students to read aloud while using expression, pacing,
pausing, and with inflection when they read to their parents, friends,
and to their teacher.
