Students frequently run right through periods and commas, skip words or even entire lines of text, read too fast or too slow, and make all other sorts of reading errors. This file "cites" them for not following the rules of the road - reading road. "Failure to stop" for example, is the citation they get for running through a period. As students read, mark their errors and then send them to traffic school.

We all struggle with getting students to follow a good pacing, read with expression, and the many other important elements of being a good reader. This poster size printable let's students know - in 5 easy to remember rules - exactly what good readers do! Print, laminate, and display. It can also be printed smaller to have students use as a bookmark.

This activity sheet allows students to practice reading tally charts and applying the information in the chart to answer related questions.
