Directions:

1. Go back to the shared story Dollars and Sense and select a paragraph to re-read aloud. As you do so, think about the fluency skill we are working on. Practice that skill as you read through your paragraph. (If you would like to practice more than a paragraph, you are welcome to do so).
2. In the text box, briefly explain in either text or video/audio what your paragraph was about. Try to remember the story rather than using the story as a guide.
3. Keep in mind smoothness & accuracy rubrics. Your goal is to get a 4. 

Smoothness Rubric

1. Makes frequent extended pauses, hesitations, false starts, sound-outs, repetitions, and/or multiple attempts. 
2. Experiences several "rough spots" in text where extended pauses or hesitations are more frequent and disruptive. 
3. Occasionally breaks smooth rhythm because of difficulties with specific words and/or structures. 
4. Generally reads smoothly with some breaks, but resolves word and structure difficulties quickly, usually through self-correction. 

Accuracy Rubric

1. Read with 6 or more errors
2. Read with 4-5 errors
3. Read with 2-3 errors
4. Read with 0-1 errors
