Whole Group and Small Group Oral Reading Practice Strategies
The following strategies are designed to engage as many students as possible while group reading.
Provide daily, multiple opportunities for all students to practice oral reading!!
Mix it up! Use a variety of strategies—change by the page and day.
Popcorn Reading:
P lace 3 different colored sticky notes on the table (one for each student, or, one on each table group in the classroom). Write the letters A and B on the different colored sticky notes (see example below).
Call on different groups of students to read (Change by the sentence, in the middle of sentences or at a page—be unpredictable!) Examples: “Popcorn! A group”, “Popcorn! B group”, “Popcorn! Pink group”, “Popcorn! Girls”, “Popcorn! Boys”, “Popcorn! Table 1”, etc.
Note: This strategy could also be used without the colored sticky notes.

Jump In! Reading
Follow directions for “Popcorn” reading.
Call on different groups of students to “jump in” and read together
Examples: “Pink group begin reading” “blue group jump in” “yellow group jump in” etc…
Choral Reading
Everyone reads together.
“Everyone, finger under the first word, read…” or “Everyone, ready? Read…”
If students begin reading “like robots”, say “Stop. I want you to read like this…”(model pacing). “Your turn, everyone, ready? Read…”
Cloze Reading
Teacher reads and stops intentionally at words that students should practice (ie., words with the target phonic element or vocabulary words)
“Today I went to the _____. I saw a big _____.”
Partner Reading
When partner reading, make sure that both students have jobs (i.e., one student is pointing while the other is reading).
Echo Reading
Students repeat what the teacher reads. “My turn…..Your turn….”
Note: the purpose of this activity is to practice fluency of expression
Not appropriate for the first time the students are reading the text.
Silent Reading
When asking students to silent read for a few sentences or pages, give them a purpose for the reading. Example: Find out who this story is about, etc.
Ask students to point to what they are reading with their finger and to point to the spot where they find the answer.
