Good readers vary the intonation of their voices to make what is happening in the text clearer. For the same reason, they also pause at appropriate places.
Choose an online story to practice your intonation and pausing:

Fluency: Echo ReadGidget Schultz couldn’t bear to see kids living on the streets near her Encinitas, California, home. So Gidget, now 14, started her own charity.

Comprehension: Main Idea and Details
The main idea is the most important idea of a paragraph. It is often the first sentence of a paragraph. Most of the other sentences will support the main idea.
Supporting ideas are the sentences that support the main idea. Sometimes a writer includes details that do not support the main idea. These details make the passage more interesting, or they might provide a little more information.
Comprehension: Compare and Contrast A comparison tells how two or more ideas,
things, or people are alike. Comparisons may not be directly stated I a
text, so you will need to look for clues that the author is showing things to be similar.
Some words and phrases that signal comparisons include similar, also, in addition, in the same way, likewise, and too.
Vocabulary: Compare and Contrast
When two or more things, ideas, or people are contrasted, the author tells how they are different.
Contrast can be shown indirectly as well. Some words and phrases that signal contrast
are but, on the other hand, unlike, although, however, rather than, yet, still, different from, opposite, and or.
Compare and Contrast: The First Thanksgiving...The
Wampanoags’ Perspective ...The English Colonists’ Perspective
