By listening to reading passages, students are able to better model how reading passages should be read aloud with proper intonation, cadence, and prosody. Try to mix up how students read and listen to reading passages, whether they read a selection first silently on their own, then listen to it with word and sentence highlighting, and then to read the selection aloud on their own can improve overall reading abilities. This helps them model the intonation, hear any words they may not be familiar with, and to set them up for success. One method that we’ve seen to help students is to have a student listen to the reading selection first and then to read the selection aloud on their own. If you were to show this word to a beginning reader who has never seen the word before, how do you think they would pronounce it? For words that students are unsure about, students can simply tap on the word to hear it read aloud. One of the difficulties beginning readers have is when they see new words that do not follow the phonetic pronunciation patterns. Younger readers can adjust the voice speed to be slower, or they can play it at the default speed to work on auditory comprehension. Students can also tap play to hear the current text to work on fluency and intonation, or they can read the text and tap on words that they may not know to hear them.
