This product is geared toward Years 1, 2 and 3 to improve fluency by reading in different voices. This activity forces students to focus on intonation and creativity. For speedy, monotoned readers, this activity forces them to slow down and use a different kind of voice. Some cards prompt students to read like they're underwater (students would plug their noses and read) or read like they're a monkey or read like they're a teacher . . . to name a few. In this product, you will find 3 versions of fluency cards and 2 versions of fluency spinners. Some in black and white and some in colour. Click the Preview for a closer look. The spinners are available in large and small versions. The small spinners would work great for placing in Interactive Notebooks.
