Spend enough time practicing how to read fluently. This means you are reading the words correctly, pausing on commas, stopping on punctuation marks, and reading with expression. A fun way to do this is to see how many words you can read in one minute, so set that timer!
Listen to original  audio stories, myths, fairytales, and even poems and songs!  You can also write your opinion about the stories, songs, or poems in the comment box. Take time to read the comments of other kids too, and see how your opinions are the same or different.
Listen to podcasts about different topics, then engage in hands-on projects and activities. An example is building your own bridge after listening to the podcast, The Past and the Curious - Bridges.
