I read, you read
Read a sentence aloud with expression, then have kids echo it back. Point out how your voice changed at the exclamation point. Hearing fluent reading right before they try it gives kids a model to copy.
Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).
