Voice Threading


I used voice threading with my students. Over the past few weeks we have been writing a lot about fall topics such as pumpkins and what do they like to do when it is fall outside. For the voice thread I chose a fall scene and titled it
Autumn Activities and had the students write 1-2 sentences with describing words about what they like to do in the fall. I also had the students draw a portrait of themselves and used this for their identity. I recorded each child reading their sentences. I did not realize this would happen, but students noticed mistakes in thieir writing when they were recording. The quickly corrected their mistakes. This is a great proofreading exercise.
