Say NO to Popcorn Reading!!




​Would you purposely:
- stigmatize poor readers?
- try to weaken comprehension?
- sabotage fluency and pronunciation?


Of course not, but if you are still using the 200 year old practice of Popcorn or Round Robin reading, that's exactly what's happening. Check out this Edutopia article that offers much more effective strategies for reading in the classroom.
