Teacher assigns story to be read silently.
Children use their PRD to read the story. They whisper in to the PRD listening to themselves. The teacher can actually watch the children reading while they concentrate on their voices. This awareness will promote a greater comprehension and expression when they read the story aloud to class. Teacher selects specific letter or vowel sound to be practiced.
