Choral Reading Response

Our group read Dr. Seuss’ “Foot Book” together as a group. Each person was responsible for reading a page, or small passage from the book. Although, we were each responsible for reading a page on our own, there were distinct similarities between our readings. As a group, we actively discussed reasons for what words would be stressed, how fast or slow we would read the text and were we would pause. We noticed that many of our decisions were based on skills we collectively gathered over the years. We instinctively made choices about what words would be stressed and where we would pause, etc. In accordance to the Michigan GLCEs, our group constructed rules for the way we would read and present the text.
