FLUENCY
Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy SkillsIF I HAD A ROBOT
If I had a robot, he would do everything I don't like to do. First, he'd brush his teeth. Then, he'd get dressed for school. I would stay in bed. He would make my lunch. He knows pizza and cookies are my favorite. My robot would carry my books and lunch for me. He might even carry my friend's books. At school, my robot would tell me all the right answers. He would take my spelling test for me and get all of the words right.
