Choral Reading Tool for English Language Learners- Building Oral Language Proficiency

Choral reading can be used with English language learners to promote oral language proficiency. As students read aloud in class as a group, they develop fluency, confidence, and oral language awareness. Students are likely to be more motivated to speak as their affective filter is low in this low pressure activity. Below I have posted a choral reading tool example and some websites for more information.
