Eight year olds are in the process of transforming from learning how to read to reading to learn. Their minds, hearts and souls are open and ready for this new challenge. In order to fully experience this opportunity, students need to hear what a fluent reader sounds like. Fluency, expression, pace, clarity and more are all skills that need to be honed in this pivotal year. Capturing a reader in this third grade year is so essential and getting them hooked on books by hearing them read aloud is the way to do so.
