Lesson objectives/goals-Students will increase their reading fluency specifically in the area of prosody.
• Introduction to the lesson
• Today we are going to be doing a lesson with fluency (explain what reading fluency is).
• *Explain the importance of fluency as a reader, and discuss the three important areas of fluent reading (accuracy, rate, prosody)
• We are going to be recording ourselves as we read a passage.
• Then we are going to play it back and discuss what we hear.
• First I will model important aspects of strong reading fluency.
• During the lesson
• What the strategy/skill is and why it’s important
• The specific skill being worked on is prosody. Students will be able to hear themselves as they read and then we will be able to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their reading.
• How to use the strategy/skill
• Students will learn the importance of using prosody as the read. They will learn that in order to be an effective reader, fluency is important in effectively relaying the intentions of the passage being read. Students will learn that in order to be effective/strong readers fluency is necessary.
• When to use it
• Students will learn that it is always important to read with prosody. This lesson is mainly focused on prosody, and for that reason it is important to inform the students that strongest readers always read with “feelings.”
• Closing summary
• Involve children in reflecting on the experience
• To wrap up, what did we talk about today?
• Why is reading fluency, specifically prosody important?
• When do we use prosody?
• What are some ways that we can increase our prosody as readers?
• Any other questions?
• Making connections to prior experience or prepare for the future
• We read a lot in our classrooms and I have heard that most of you read a lot at home. It is important to keep these elements we have talked about today in practice as we continue to grow as readers.
• Elicit feedback about the lesson
• I will review the great work that students have been doing
• I will clear up any misconceptions
• I will allow for an opportunity to answer any questions.
• Ongoing Assessment
• How will you know if the students are progressing toward your objective?
• I the year finishes up, students will have more opportunities to read aloud, as they do, I will monitor their prosody as readers, and assess if they are putting to practice what they learned in this lesson.
• What will you observe and/or take notes on to help you plan follow-up instruction?
• I will keep the recordings that students make during their readings
• I will keep notes on accuracy, rate, and prosody to further inform myself on any follow up lessons that I will construct.
