Oral Reading Techniques

 Oral Reading is good for children.  However, the traditional "Round Robin" reading is an outdated strategy.  Here are some oral reading strategies to try:

1)  "All Boys" or "All Girls"- Have all boys or all girls choral read a passage

2)  "Teacher Read and Stop"- The teacher starts reading a sentence, then stops at a random point.  The students read until they get to an ending punctuation mark.

3)  "Partner Read"- Have students read to each other in pairs.

4)  "Silent Reading"- Give students a short passage to read silently.  Make sure to give them a purpose for reading before they start (question, vocabulary word, strategy to use, etc.)

5)  "Echo Reading"- The teacher reads, the class repeats.

6)  "Table Read"- Students at a certain table read aloud together.  

7) "Audio or Video Read"- Have students listen and follow along to an audio or video recording of the text.
