Expression

When we returned to school in the beginning of January, Ms. Leom's Flex group was studying Fairy Tales. We read many fairy tales stories in the traditional version. A few weeks ago, we shared some of our favorites with our kindergarten reading buddies. Then we read The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. We were able to enjoy this silly book, because we could compare the silly version to the more traditional stories. It is a fun story, and it really gives us an opportunity to work on reading with expression and reading fluently. We read The Stinky Cheese Man once together as a class. Once on our own to enjoy and reread the parts we liked best. Today, Ms. Leom's homeroom read The Stinky Cheese Man to our kindergarten friends, using our best reading voices. We are improving our reading expression. :)
