Sara Said:

If I teach myself a language till I achieve reading fluency, should I take the AP exam for it?

We Answered:

You would need to inquire with the school. Policies differ from school to school, you know.

edit: if you're fluent in the language, and it's a written exam, I don't see why you'd do poorly on it. Can't hurt to try, right?

The book, The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything by Linda Williams is great.
1. You can create a book - Who Is Not Afraid of Anything (insert student's name). Students will complete the pages with their names and something they are not afraid of.
2. There are lots of sounds and repetition, /cl/, /ch/, and /sh/in the book to do phonics around.
3. Build a classroom scarecrow - supply clothing, shoes, hat, gloves
4. This book is also great for sequencing.Cut apart the story strips and put them in order to tell the story.Add capital letters and punctuation marks where they belong.
5. You can sing the story: For ex,
Little old lady
Little old lady
In the forest... Go through the sequencing of the book.
6. You can do a writing activity
What could you do with a scarecrow?
You could...
And you could...
It would be fun to...
7. You could do research on pumpkins.
Where are pumpkins found.
How big does a pumpkin grow?
8. You could use the 5 senses to describe the forest in the story.

Marvin Said:

Is anyone familiar with the APE program in elementary schools to develop reading fluency in students?

We Answered:

My school did it for four years because our focus then was fluency. Everyone had to have the APE poster in their classrooms, and we were required to teach fluency. I wasn't aware it was an actual program. We just used the acronyms for kids to remember (Accuracy, Pace, and Expression??..I forgot).
The children in my first grade class were required to read a passage or a word list, and a partner would record the time and accuracy with a stopwatch. They'd have to read the same passage three times to see how much improvement there was in all three areas.
We did it for about ten minutes per day, and I think there was improvement in general. The kids got to be really fast in reading the (known) passages. Whether there was any comprehension is another question.
Personally I think there are better ways to teach fluency.
