If you teach first through third grade, you know that reading fluency is a critical part of teaching students how to read. After decoding is not the main focus, students must be able to read fluently in order to deeply comprehend a story.
But, targeting fluency on a regular basis can be difficult. You can’t work with every child on their fluency every time they read, so you need activities that target those skills that they can do on their own!
Buddy Reads target 2nd grade fluency skills perfectly! Your readers will read a script with a partner, then reflect on their expression, rate, and accuracy. They will also answer comprehension questions
What makes this resource different from other reader’s theater resources?
Each script only has two parts. This makes it easy for you to assign as center or station work, because students do not need to sit in large groups to practice reading the scripts together. Or, they work well in small groups. You can split your small groups into pairs and have them perform scripts for each other!
This resource is written at a 2nd grade level. Each script is only two pages, so it is easy to copy front and back. The shorter length and accessible text makes it easy for students to practice fluency skills, and actually see growth!
What does this download include?
