Fluency.

I was informed at Parent teacher conferences that Brynn's reading is very robotic. Her fluency scores are quite low. I find it ironic that the most animated child on planet Earth reads with the most monotone voice.

I tried talking to her about it. "They want you to make it interesting when you read. Try to read it smoothly like you are talking."

"Why?"

"Because is makes it more interesting. Reading like a robot doesn't sound interesting."

Brynn thought for a very long time. "But mom, I think robots are very interesting."

Can not argue with that.
