FLUENCY + PHRASING MINI LESSONS | ANCHOR CHARTS, MENTOR TEXTS, PROMPTS
By French Made Fun!
Have your middle schoolers regressed in their reading strategies, or do you have students that require explicit strategies relating to their fluency and phrasing? This collection of slides is intended for big kids who need extra support. The language is intended for grades 5 through 8. They're not babyish, and the texts used are at the level of your pre-teen and teen crowds!
This 35-page document provides you with posters (which you can display digitally as anchor charts, or have them printed), mentor texts to model the strategy or do a shared reading with your students, and independent task prompts.
In this document, you'll find:
9 Anchor Charts reflecting 9 different strategies.
"I can read less common words with fluency."
"I can make sense of my reading."
"I can read with intonation and expression."
"I can read with phrasing."
"I can make my voice match the punctuation."
"I can warm up my fluency by reading an easy book."
"I can pay attention to punctuation."
"Hear me out!"
"I can be a helpful reading partner."
10 mentor texts.
8 independent tasks (often using writer's notebooks or post-its.)
I translate the majority of my documents to have both English and French versions; however, this is an English-only document.
