A parent says that her second grader is pretty good at reading but sounds robotic when he reads aloud. Third grade teacher Chelsey Short explains that if your child understands what they’re reading, then you don’t need to worry too much. Reading with appropriate expression is a skill that develops over time as your child grows in confidence with their reading. Chelsey offers simple and fun ideas for helping your child become a more expressive, fluent reader.
This video is part of our special series, Reading SOS, where parents ask the experts their questions about reading and how to support their kids at home.
