Research shows that partner reading is an effective tool in building reading fluency. The whimsical reproducible poems in this collection were written especially for two students to take turns reading aloud. This experience strengthens both reading and listening skills as students are encouraged to give each other supportive feedback. Accompanying lessons, with think-aloud scripts, offer explicit instruction to help develop fluency. For use with Grades 2–4.

This review is from: Partner Poems for Building Fluency: 25 Original Poems With Research-Based Lessons That Help Students Improve Their Fluency and Comprehension (Best Practices in Action) (Paperback)
I ordered this book last spring and my second graders loved it. It really got them excited about reading with fluency and expression. They loved to read with partners or when we divided the whole group. My students begged me to read their favorites over and over. The poems also have fun pictures. I am excited to use it again in the coming school year.

My small group of grade 3 readers enjoy this while it lends a new twist on repeated reading. They interchange parts, read in pairs, groups or solo. There are good opportunities for vocabulary development in the playful, yet factual rhymes. While it says appropriate for grades 2-4, one needs to examine the selections more carefully to align with grade the level taught.

Way too simple and dull,

This sounded like it would be great to use to practice fluency with my elementary students, but it's way too simple with generally dull poems. The parts for each reader are too short along with the short poems. I'd say stick to stories for reader's theater practice, and if you want to do fluency practice with poetry, just create your own "partner poems" with poems you enjoy.
