I think you know I volunteer at my son's school. Second grade. Sometimes I am sent to the library so the kids can practice reading aloud with me.
When they make a mistake, should I correct it or just keep going? Usually it is simple, it is a similar word in sound and meaning, doesn't change the meaning of the paragraph or sentence really, but isn't what was said.
Or is it more complex than that, and is the answer 'it depends'? Because that is ok too. But if it was an easy 'always let them go' or 'always gently correct them', that would be nice to know.
This post made me think of it. The school is an at risk school, and they are trying to boost their reading scores so even though they have reading teachers, if the opportunity comes up to practice reading, I'm another warm body to listen.
