This week we started using Whisper Phones to help students begin to develop fluency as they read to themselves. Students hold the Whisper Phone up to their mouth as they read and the sound of their voice goes straight into their ears - helping them really take notice of how they sound when they're reading (choppy or smooth) and helping make errors more evident. Students use the Whisper Phones to read and reread their guided reading texts as well as books from their book bag.

I love teaching kindergarten literacy at STEM! It is amazing to be a part of the reading and writing growth of a kindergarten student. You get to see kids move from knowing some letters and sounds to being enthusiastic readers and young authors. Archives
