Fluency Recording Extension

Collaboration is a key element of technology integration, so when a colleague has a great idea, SHARE IT!  A colleague of mine wanted to take fluency recording a step further, to cover more content areas simultaneously.  Here was her idea, explained in detail:

What if we recorded students reading THEIR OWN work out loud?  

Writing teachers are constantly reminding students to revise and edit their work. Usually, we see that certain parts are not coherent, or are irrelevant, biased, etc.  We encourage younger students to read their writing aloud to determine punctuation and spelling errors.  If they were to LISTEN to their writing pieces aloud, they would HEAR these mistakes for themselves. A checklist is soon to come!
