Fiction and nonfiction fluency with retell
By Basic Biz Teaching
Do you students work on fluency? If your answer is yes, then this product is for you!
My students have been absolutely obsessed with rainbows this year, so I gave this common retell practice a makeover by adding a simple splash of color! Let me just say… my students LOVED IT!
I use this product in both whole group and small group settings!! Curious? Here's how!
Whole group:
While reading our Wonders weekly stories, my students will be asked to turn to their partners and give a retell of the story. Sometimes we do this after each page, sometimes halfway through the story, sometimes after we're done. Why? My kids have learned quickly to pay attention to what we're reading because you never know when a partner retell is coming!
Small group:
Mondays are fluency day in our class!
First, we discuss what type of text we're reading based on the title. We get our partners and quickly decide who's reading first and who's giving feedback first. After the minute timer goes off, the reading partner uses the printout as a guide for their retell based on if the story is fiction or nonfiction. Feedback partner listens and uses to rubric and dry erase markers (we keep ours in our sheet protectors to cut down on copies).
It's been a great experience!
