It is a great way to teach voice and expression while reading.
We make an anchor chart to remind the kids of each voice symbols.
I then give the kids sentence strip papers to make their own voice strips. They write the alphabet as follows:
ab! cd? ef. gh, ij? kl. mn? Well, you get the idea. They can make it anyway they want.
The next day we use the book " If I had a Dragon..." It is a great voice book as well. I read it without any expression first and we discuss how boring the book was. We try again with more expression. This leads the way to a good discussion of why we need to read with expression.
I then have the kids write their own version of the book. They can use any ending expression they want.
I love hearing them stand in the hallway using the correct voices.
