Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reading the text aloud to students before asking them to read it independently can provide them with a model of fluent and accurate reading, which can improve their comprehension and ability to read independently. It also allows them to focus on understanding the information rather than struggling with decoding or vocabulary challenges. This strategy can be used as a supplement to other interventions such as providing more time for reading or small group instruction. Excusing the students or asking them to read with a parent or sibling may not provide the support and instruction they need to become better readers.
