This Year 5 Penn's Adventure Reader's Theatre pack includes a range of activities to help develop reading fluency: a Reading Fluency pack for children, a Reader's Theatre Teaching PowerPoint for modelling, and a miscue analysis intervention.

Use repeated oral reading to model fluency and expression, then watch your children progress across the week as they begin to internalise the text, develop expression, understand tone and volume, and truly get to grips with the text.

A close reading exercise is provided within this pack, which questions children's understanding of how tone and expression effect the text, a phrase-marking sheet encourages children to add their own expression to the text, and a feedback rubric to get children visualising the progress they've had across the week. No fancy gimmicks, no learning off-by-heart; just reading fluency fun.
