This lesson examines how the oral reading of poetry may be used to support and improve fluent reading for middle school students. Central to this lesson is the idea that students require practice and repetition to master decoding skills for fluency and comprehension in oral reading. Following classroom discussions, students work with partners to select a poem for an oral reading performance. Working together, students create a PowerPoint slide show to accompany their performance of the poem. (author/ncl)
