| 9781591981466 | The Big Hungry Bear (Fluency Readers) | Rozanne Williams | Research has proven that children need to read aloud new material four times to achive maximum benefit, and as many of those readings as possible should be accompanied by immediate feedback from an adult. As young readers become more fluent, they vastly improve their comprehension. To accomplish this, children need books that are captivating and inspire a positive reading experience. All books in this series include a refrain that provides students with the built-in opportunity to reread the same text. The rhythm, rhyme, repetition, and dialogue provide opportunities for students to use voice inflection and expression. The motivating content provides a fun, interactive reading experience that will inspire young readers to want to read and reread these books over and over, | Creative Teaching Press |
