As a scaffold to the First Grade Butterflies use of reading fluency, rate, expression, and comprehension as readers and active engagement in interactive and collaborative "book talks" with reading partners, the Butterfly Readers learn and use strategies for "partner reading".

The Butterfly Readers learn the partner reading strategies of "Jinx" (reading simultaneously), "Copy Cat" (alternating reading of the same page), and "See-Saw" (alternating page reading).

The Scholastic Storia app provides reading partners with access to leveled digital texts in "bookshelves" (I created) that correlate to the text leveling system used within the classroom library.

The Butterfly reading partners choose and use partner reading strategies with leveled digital texts.

The "read to me" capability of select ebooks (not all Storia ebooks include the capability to have the text read aloud) promotes the reading partners' use of fluency, rate, and expression as partners "Jinx" read- following the highlighted text.
