Leslie said" I am teaching a struggling group of third graders this year. They fall down on fluency because they are reading so slowly. It is not so much that they don't know the vocabulary. Any suggestions on how to build fluency with third graders? In the past I have used Reader's Theater, choral reading (poems in two voices) and buddy reading. I am looking for anything else you might suggest. Thanks."
In one of our high schools, we have used karaoke to help with fluency. Maybe karaoke could help these students as well. I would be interested to see if it would.

They fall down on fluency because they are reading so slowly. It is not so much that they don't know the vocabulary. Any suggestions on how to build fluency with third graders? In the past I have used Reader's Theater, choral reading (poems in two voices) and buddy reading. I am looking for anything else you might suggest. Thanks. Also, do any of you use a program for old-fashioned grammar (writing mechanics) or do you strictly do that through your individual conferencing and mini-lessons? Thanks. Leslie R.
