Reading in which the instructor and the student(s) read the passage aloud together describes which practice?

• A. Choral reading
• B. Echo reading
• C. Independent reading
• D. Repeated reading

Answer: (A)

Choral reading is when the teacher and students read the passage aloud together in unison, which models fluent, expressive reading and helps learners hear the rhythm and phrasing. This approach supports pronunciation and blending, giving students a clear example to imitate while reducing anxiety because everyone reads aloud at once.

This fits the scenario of instructor and student(s) reading aloud together as a group. It’s different from echo reading, where the teacher reads a portion first and students repeat it back, usually after the teacher, rather than reading in unison. Independent reading is when a student reads alone without a teacher’s voice guiding the passage. Repeated reading involves practicing the same text multiple times to build fluency, often focusing on speed and accuracy, and isn’t defined by reading aloud together with the teacher.
