Question

A second-grade teacher pairs students who are reading at approximately the same independent reading level for a partner-reading activity. During the activity, the two partners sit side by side and take turns reading aloud from a shared text. Over a period of several days, the partners read a large number of independent-level texts together. This activity is best designed to promote students':A) development of reading rate and automaticity

B) awareness of key aspects of prosodic reading
C) development of comprehension skills and strategies
D) awareness of new phonics elements

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. development of reading rate and automaticity

Step-by-step explanation:

Reading a text orally just once will most likely not help the student practice rate or automaticity, Instead, the student would practice rate and automaticity through classroom discussions and instruction about specific reading strategies, or repeated readings.
