Reading Aloud Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: RF.2.4.B
In the everyday world it is uncommon to have to read aloud, but in an academic setting it is almost a daily occurrence. When we read aloud we want to focus on our fluency and cadence. You want to present what you are reading to the listener in an easy to follow manner. You want to remain calm when reading aloud. If you run into a difficult word, don’t be afraid to take a pause. Try to read in a colorful voice making sure to accentuate the pauses and exclamations. These worksheets help second graders find their voice for reading orally.
