How the lesson starts: Read Smoothly and Self-Correct

Radio Treetop
Good morning from Radio Treetop! Paz the parrot reads the jungle news every day. Listeners love her voice. She sounds like she's talking, not reading. Today she shares her first secret.
Robot voice, parrot voice
Paz's co-host is Clank the robot. Clank reads one word at a time, in one flat voice. It sounds bumpy. Paz reads in smooth groups, at a steady pace. Tap each bubble. Which one would you rather hear?
Read in scoops
Paz reads in scoops. A scoop is a small group of words that go together. This morning, two baby sloths climbed the tallest tree. It took them three whole hours! Each underline is one scoop. Not too fast, not too slow.
