Hi Sue, Then, I wouldn't worry about this. I had a student this year (grade one) who told me that when he read in his head his reading was more fluid than when he read aloud to me. He reminded me that reading aloud requires somewhat different skills and attention than reading silently. If he was able to comprehend while he was reading then why worry about his halting reading when he read to me? (If there's an answer to this question, please respond.) Reading aloud may have even impeded his comprehension. Elisa Waingort Calgary, Alberta Yes he can. When he reads aloud he rereads constantly and has hardly any comprehension. If I ask him to read a page silently and tell me what it's about he can. He's a mystery. Sue
