"That Sounded Good!": Using Whole-Class Choral Reading to Improve Fluency
Paige, David D.
Reading Teacher, v64 n6 p435-438 Mar 2011
Whole-class choral reading (WCCR) is an oral reading fluency strategy that can help older elementary students in need of fluency development. Implementation is simple and requires only a few minutes per day. WCCR can be easily adapted for use with narrative and expository texts and allows all students the opportunity to practice within an environment that provides monitored reader support. (Contains 2 figures.)
