=**LUCKY LISTENER FORMS:**=

=
(Lucky listeners is a strategy we used to use in our schools. Students are asked to find 3 lucky listeners within a time frame that is set by the teacher. This could be 3 per day or 3 in a week. Students then read their story or passage to that lucky listener and the listener then signs the form. The rubric is on one of the forms so the listeners can comment on how the students did with fluency.)=====
