  by
• Emphasizing important words
• Looking for end and other punctuation

7
Fluency

• Im going to read page 377 in A Tree Is
  Growing.
• Page 377
• A tree needs sunlight, air, soil, and water to
  grow. Water travels through passages in the
  trunk and branches up to the leaves. The water
  moves up the trunk as it if it is being sucked
  through a straw.
• The first sentence tells me what a tree needs to
  grow. The words sunlight, air, soil, and water
  are important, so I will emphasize them. I also
  see that there are commas between each of the
  words in the list, so I will pause slightly
  between the words.
• Lets echo-read this same page.

Sunflowers

• Have you ever seen a sunflower seed? Actually,
  you might not know that you saw one because
  sunflower seeds are very small. Sunflower seeds
  are no larger than one of your fingernails. When
  a sunflower is fully grown, though, the plant can
  be more than six feet tall, and the flower may be
  larger than a dinner plate!
• Once sunflower seeds are planted, it takes
  about a week for them to sprout. Then the
  flowers begin to grow. To reach their full size,
  sunflowers need a lot of sunshine. In fact, they
  need at least six hours of direct sunlight each
  day. Perhaps this is why sunflowers are so tall.
  They might be trying to reach the sun that they
  need so much!
