Topic: Fluency
In preschool, fluency means that children use intonation and phrasing when they participate in shared reading, chants, rhymes, and finger plays. The goal is that children are able to recognize familiar tunes and repetitive phrases. Here are some great ideas for meeting this standard;
My class LOVED our Monkey Mitt - It's a fuzzy glove with velcro on each finger, you can get different characters for. The characters go with familiar songs like "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" "BINGO" and "5 Green and Speckled Frogs." We found ours at a garage sale, but you can get one on Amazon (affiliate link).
The "There Was an Old Lady" books have a rhyming structure and repetitive story that children can easily follow along with. Try this activity so children can follow along.
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Every child knows this book (or can pick up on it really really quickly), introduce the book and then let the children read it to you, they'll get a kick out of it, while practicing fluency! (Affiliate link).
These are all fun easy ideas for encouraging reading and fluency, and ideas that make every child feel successful!
