Reading Fluency Practice | Google Docs & Voice Recording

After listening to an audio clip of a story, students practiced the target skills of intonation and accuracy. Students used Vocaroo to record themselves reading a poem and then pasted the link to this recording into a shared Google Document. Afterwards, they listened to a partner's recording and left feedback. The following focus questions were posted for consideration when listening to give feedback: Did they pause at punctuation? Stress important words? Read at a good rate? Were they accurate?

Vocabulary | Google Docs & Voice Recording

Students accessed a Google Document that provided the top three vocabulary words - the "Big Dogs" and a student-friendly definition. Using the sentence frame that the teacher provided in the document, they created a "7-Up" sentence, recorded themselves reading the sentence in Vocaroo, and add the link to their recording to the document.

Vocabulary | Google Classroom & Docs

5th grade students at Tualatin Elementary School get extra practice with vocabulary through Google Classroom & Docs. Teachers create a vocabulary document with appropriate images and kid-friendly definitions & post it to Google Classroom. (Teachers prioritize the Tier 2 words and put them at the top.) The students use a copy of this document to write a story that includes the vocabulary. (The vocabulary is posted on the wall in the classroom as well.)
