Common Core Standards

Grade 4

Reading RF.4.4.B

Read grade-level prose and poetry orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on successive readings.

Ah, reading out loud is a dreaded activity for kids who aren't reading well, so do your best to make this standard a comfortable one to tackle. Explore ways that you can check up on this standard: create podcasts, recordings, or scripts, and make sure they're having fun with it.

The old tried and true methods are still reliable, too. Popcorn reading can push some students toward healthy competition—though too much stifles learning—and you'll be able to easily gauge your students' progress.
