Practice Makes Perfect

I have a student who speaks very softly when she reads but  writes great stories and wants to read them to the class.  I demonstrated the audio and told her she could practice reading her story but she would have to speak louder so the class could hear it when I played it back.  It worked!  Now her classmates are picking the Writing Center and are looking forward to reading their books to the class.  She is now working on another book.
