Building Fluency Through Practice & Performance Grade 4 (Building Fluency through Practice and Performance)

Increase students' fluency levels through repeated reading of traditional poems, rhymes, song lyrics, reader's theater, and monologues. Based on Dr. Timothy Rasinski's important fluency research, these books build reading skills for all students, including English language learners. Improve grade 4 fluency by performing and reciting these pieces individually, in pairs, and whole group with the provided reading strategies. Two CD's are included: an Audio CD with recordings of the songs to model fluent reading, and a Teacher Resource CD with the songs presented in PowerPoint for whole class participation.

About Shell Education
Rachelle Cracchiolo started the company with a friend and fellow teacher. Both were eager to share their ideas and passion for education with other classroom leaders. What began as a hobby, selling lesson plans to local stores, became a part-time job after a full day of teaching, and eventually blossomed into Teacher Created Materials. The story continued in 2004 with the launch of Shell Education and the introduction of professional resources and classroom application books designed to support Teacher Created Materials curriculum resources. Today, Teacher Created Materials and Shell Education are two of the most recognized names in educational publishing around the world.
