Get students motivated for Fluency Practice! How? Karaoke of course.

Are you looking for a fun idea to get your students hyped about reading. Try karaoke. Give the students the lyrics of a song that is in their fluent reading zone, some time to practice and then allow them to perform. They will feel great when they master the words to a hit song.

Tips:
Choose a song that is not a current hit ( students may already know all of the words)

Play the song first, so the kids can get an idea of the tune.

Do not allow the kids to practice with the music at first. Let them gain a level of fluency with the piece and add the music later.

Give them time to practice and perform.

Do not force them to perform if they are not willing. They can read the lyrics to you later.

Have fun!

Oh yeah, leave a comment letting me know how it went. Good Luck.
