Here’s the poster I display at my fluency center in my classroom:
At the station, students can:
choose a story that is “just right” for them practice reading their story record themselves reading listen back and self-evaluate using the self-evaluation sheet you see below
It is a great way for students to become self-learners. I also allow them to peer-evaluate sometimes. I especially love this station because they are able to recognize their accomplishments and areas that need work, without needing to hear it from a teacher.
Grab the poster and evaluation sheet below:
Do you have a fluency station/center in your classroom? How is it set-up?
I’d love to hear from you!

March 26, 2012This is a great idea! I don't have a "student/self assessment" for fluency. I assess them, but they don't ever get the chance to assess themselves like this. I love that! Do you just use mini recorders?

@Marie: I have a mic that hooks up to the computer for them to record. It works out well!

March 28, 2012Hey there!
I'm your newest follower! I am teaching my first year in first grade in Charles County, MD. I have two blogs: one for my firsties (http://firstgradehandshearts.blogspot.com/) and one for my teaching adventures to not forget my first year of teaching (http://caffeinekidscreativity.blogspot.com/). Find me because I'm real excited to find another blogger from MD. (Oh did I mention I just moved here from NJ in November- what!? Such a crazy fall!) hehehe

March 29, 2012Hi! I stumbled onto your blog from another blog and the reason your blog caught my eye is that I am a Lyndsey too and spell it the exact same way! I was just so excited to see that that I had to click on your blog and leave you a comment!
Then, I saw that you teach in Baltimore! I am currently student teaching in Howard County so both the name and the closeness of schools really excited me.
So anyways, I just wanted to say hi from one Lyndsey to another. And I will be sure to follow your blog from now on!

April 1, 2012This is GREAT. I have to figure out how to record them so they can listen, but I'm going to use your poster and assessment. Thanks!

December 5, 2012Thanks for the super smiley face chart. It was just what I needed.
@Kimberley, this may be too late, but audioboo.com is a super simple website that the kids can use to record themselves. If you have any kind of iOS device you could also just use the voice recorder.
Thanks again!
