How loud should the kids be reading?
Personally, I like it when there is a tone to their voice and they are not whisper reading. Some teachers don’t like the noise level, so they split up the kids into different corners of the room. One teacher in Connecticut recommended to buy pool tubing. If you cut it up in foot long pieces, the kids can attach it from their ear to their mouth and hear themselves really well even if they are whispering. Great idea! J Whatever volume it is, the key is that they are reading out loud on their own pace.
