<a href="http://youtu.be/z-qjUf8sSkE"></a>Last week, we worked on elements of reading fluency. We read stories from Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad books, and listened to others read them on YouTube. Students discovered that when they read aloud with good expression, they tend to "hear" that voice when they read silently. They were thrilled to know that it increased their comprehension, <i>exponentially</i>!

I'm so glad I had my phone handy when this little girl erupted with her discovery! <br />

Providing excellent and expressive models for fluency, Audio versions of favorite children's books are treasures. Many titles are available on Amazon and other outlets in cd and mp3 formats as well as your local library. Amazon has partnered with Audible to make children's audio files available for a very reasonable price.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Want a more personalized version? Record your own voice reading your child's favorite titles, using your computer or tablet. Burn a CD or load it onto a digital player for your child. Wonderful!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm on a Frog and Toad spree lately, but there are many other great audio books that will capture even the most reluctant readers.</div>
