Give me buttons: Pause, Mute, Stop!

What do we mean by choral reading and echo reading?
Choral Speaking is defined as a group of people narrating a poem or dramatic piece. It requires a
group of students to interpret and recite from memory orally.
Choral Speaking helps build stuents’ fluency, self-confidence, and motivation. Because students are
reading aloud together, students who may ordinarily feel shy, self-conscious or nervous about reading aloud
have built-in support.
We Thank Thee
For flowers that bloom about our feet,
 Father, we thank Thee.
For tender grass so fresh, so sweet,
Father, we thank Thee.
For the song of bird and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

Echo Reading is a strategy to use during guided reading where a teacher or other trained adult reads a line
in a text, and the child reads it back, matching the adult’s emphasis and fluency.
Echo reading helps in enhancing the reaading abilities of students in various aspects. Furthermore, it
helps in building confidence in the student, improves their readinng comprehension and vocabularies.
