Which type of reading involves students reading along with a tape and pointing to each word?

Partner reading
Monitored oral reading
Tape-assisted reading
Independent reading

The correct answer is: Tape-assisted reading

Tape-assisted reading involves students following along with a recording while simultaneously pointing to each word in the text. This method is particularly beneficial for developing fluency and word recognition as it provides auditory support that helps students match spoken words to their printed counterparts. By using the tape, students can hear the correct pronunciation and pacing, which can enhance their confidence and engagement in reading. This approach also allows for individual practice without the need for constant teacher involvement, making it a valuable tool in promoting literacy skills.
