What children learn in Level 36
- Good readers read smoothly, like talking, not like a robot. Listen as this story is read. Tap Read it to me!
- Use the end marks. Read a ! with excitement, a ? like you're asking, and a period in a calm voice.
- Pause a little at each period, like taking a breath.
- If a word doesn't make sense, stop, go back, and read it again. That's what good readers do!
- Try it with a grown-up! Read a page of a favorite book aloud, with lots of expression.
