Read it like a professional

We are learning to read with fluency
To be successful I will:


  • Pause at commas
  • Stop at full stops
  • Sound natural (not like a robot)
  • Adjust my reading speed when I come  to difficult words

When I listen to my reading I know that I Paused at commas and stop at full stops.

I will continue on not sounding like a robot. I also need to adjust my reading speed when I come to difficult words.
