Below you will find readings of poems from the book Joyful Noise: Poetry for Two Voices by the kiddos. These readings were done after much practice and discussion over what characteristics make a fluent reader. They were not easy poems to read because not only did the kids have to use inflection, rhythm, and read the words correctly, they also had to time it so they're reading was synchronized. At times, you'll notice they were supposed to even read different lines simultaneously. I was very impressed with their efforts to read these poems fluently!

Breanna and Avery you did a great job on your poem. You were clear, easily understood, and I loved your personalities and voice inflection when you read the parts together. Kudos. (Liane Moeller)
