Objective
I can read my writing aloud to make sure it sounds right and makes sense.
Materials
Sharpened pencil
Eraser
Ruled paper (primary lines preferred)
Mini-lesson — Read it out loud
When you read your writing out loud, your ears can catch mistakes your eyes miss. It helps you find missing words, funny sentences, and the wrong ending mark.
Read slowly
Point to each word as you read.
If you run out of breath, the sentence may be too long.
Pause at punctuation
Stop a tiny bit at a period.
Raise your voice at a question mark.
Sound excited at an exclamation mark.
Listen for mistakes
Did you skip a word? Add it.
Did a word sound wrong? Fix it.
Does it make sense? If not, rewrite it simply.
Read it one more time
After you fix it, read it again.
Now it should sound smooth and clear.
Ask yourself:
"Did my sentence sound right when I read it out loud?"
