FLUENCY FRIDAY!
Here’s one of my favorite poems for the New Year. I hope you and your students like it too!

Rehearsing and performing poetry and song is an excellent (and artful) way to build reading fluency (SOR) – automatic word recognition and prosody (expressiveness).

[Lyndsay Harvey @EDLitOfficer]

@HolyTrinityPS1 I love your use of real life context for the stimulus to your persuasive writing! A fab idea! 💡 👏 #writingforpurpose #reallifecontexts
