In which activity does the teacher read the text aloud and the student echo-reads with the same speed and expression?

• A. Anecdotal Record
• B. Echo Reading
• C. Concepts About Print
• D. Accountability

Answer: (B)

This item targets fluency through modeling, where students imitate a fluent reading after hearing a model. When the teacher reads aloud and the student echoes with the same speed and expression, that’s echo reading. This approach helps learners pick up phrasing, pace, and intonation by listening to a fluent reading and immediately matching it, which strengthens reading fluency and expression. An anecdotal record is just notes about a student’s reading behavior, not a live practice activity. Concepts About Print focuses on understanding how print works (left to right, top to bottom, punctuation, etc.), not on echoing a model. Accountability involves monitoring progress or responsibility, not a reading strategy. So the described activity aligns with echo reading.
