The student reads the passage hesitantly, frequently stopping to reread clauses or entire sentences. Afterward, the student demonstrates limited comprehension of what was read. Which of the following factors is most likely disrupting the student's fluent reading of this text?
insufficient background knowledge to support basic comprehension of the text
lack of experience with the academic-language structures used in the text
insufficient monitoring of comprehension while reading the text
lack of grade-level word analysis skills for accurate decoding of the words in the text

A second-grade teacher would like to plan an activity to improve the reading rate of two students who read at about the same rate and level and are both automatic readers. Which of the following activities would best address the students' needs?
a cooperative silent reading activity, in which the students read the same passage together silently, stopping periodically to share their understanding of the text
a repeated reading activity, in which each student takes several turns reading aloud a decodable passage to the other student while the other student follows along silently
a paired reading activity, in which the students sit side by side and read a shared text aloud in unison, gradually increasing their pace as they proceed through the text
a timed partner-reading activity, in which the students take turns silently reading a shared text for one minute while the other student keeps time and says when to stop
Answer explanation
The cooperative silent reading activity allows students to engage with the text and discuss their understanding, which enhances comprehension and reading rate. This collaborative approach is ideal for automatic readers at the same level.
