Karaoke Fluency!

Looking for new ways to increase reading fluency in your classroom?  You are in luck!
A new strategy that was developed by Timothy Rasinski combines the use of singing and reading with a Karaoke machine. When students are singing they are forced to have their voices keep up at a certain rate. A group of students at Hillside elementary were able to raise their reading scores a whole year with just 3 months of after school instruction in Karaoke club once a week. You can check out the feature on Fox 6 news here:

 
 
Think about all that you could do with this!  If you choose a song that is not well known by your students, they will be forced to read the words and practice reading them fluently.  Have fun!
