Reading w/ Kelly in REED 430: Building Vocabulary
http://kellysfunreadingblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/building-vocabulary.html
Reading w/ Kelly in REED 430. Monday, November 3, 2014. Vocabulary is so important to learning and reading comprehension.

Monday, October 6, 2014. Deeney's introduction to prosody, with regard to signal words and punctuation, could be developed or strengthened through echo and choral readings.
