[blindkid] Reading with Expression.

[Barbara Hammel]

I would wager a bet that many in her class don't read with expression yet. 
Some never will.  For some good practice, have her read books to you that 
she knows really well so she can hear how she did it when the contents were 
in her memory.  Then have her read books that are below her grade level or 
just under her skill level.
You might want to help her recognize punctuations like commas in her 
sentences and explain how we take different sizes of breaks when we see 
them.  School probably won't teach her that.  But, in the long run, it's 
just practice, practice, and more practice.

Thank you Arielle

She is working on two handed reading and I know her TVI is working on that
skill more.  I already told her it would come with more practice.  I guess
it was something she went over in class today ans she was upset  it was
something she couldn't do yet.

Thank you.
Penny
