recording themselves reading
and then listen back to hear
their own reading. Students
will then conference with the
instructor and self-evaluate.

students I will say I know
that you get to listen to Mrs.
Copley read all the time. But,
you never really get the
chance to hear yourself read.

and then select one to
practice and recite in front of
the class.

can be given an opportunity
to read the poem alone to the

the students reading. As the students are reading
aloud Ill try not to say
anything unless they prompt
me for help on a word.
After they finish I will give
them some positive
reinforcement and I will show
them the self-evaluation
sheet. I will explain the 1-5

students may be unfamiliar
with it. I will say, Okay, now

you do agree with the
sentence.

compare their thoughts with
how the student evaluated
themselves.

Technology Integration: We will use the I-pads available in the classroom to provide students with an opportunity to hear their reading.
