CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.2.4b
The Standard
Read on-level text orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on successive readings.
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts
What This Standard Means
Students need to reread a second grade passage so their voice gets smoother each time. They should say the words correctly, keep a steady pace, and use their voice to show punctuation, dialogue, and meaning.
Mastery sounds like reading that is easy to follow, not word by word or rushed. Students can fix miscues, pause at commas and periods, and make dialogue sound like people talking. Common trouble spots are guessing at longer words, ignoring punctuation, reading too fast, and using a flat voice because all attention goes to decoding.
Ways to Teach It
- Use partner repeated reading with a 100-word passage, where students read three times and partners mark smoother phrasing with a pencil slash.
- Ask students, “Which sentence should sound excited, serious, or surprised, and what clue in the text tells you that?”
- Have each student read one short paragraph aloud while you note accuracy, pace, punctuation pauses, and expression on a four-box checklist.
- Bring in a weather report script and have students practice reading it like a real announcer with clear pace and expression.
