Reading in which the instructor reads a paragraph aloud and then the student(s) read it aloud after describes which practice?

• A. Echo reading
• B. Choral reading
• C. Independent reading
• D. Repeated reading

Answer: (A)

Echo reading is a fluency-building practice where the teacher reads a paragraph aloud first, and then students read the same passage aloud after the teacher. This gives students a live model of fluent reading—the pacing, phrasing, and expression that good readers use. By following along and imitating that model, students learn where to pause at commas and periods, how to group words into meaningful phrases, and how to adjust their voice for different punctuation and sentence ideas. The goal is for students to internalize the rhythm of fluent reading so they can apply it in their own reading aloud. This approach differs from reading aloud together with the whole class (which emphasizes keeping a steady pace and group participation), from reading independently on one's own, or from repeatedly rereading the same text to build speed and accuracy. Echo reading specifically centers on modeling and echoing fluent expression to develop oral fluency.
