What does shared reading primarily involve?

  1. Teaching fluency through individual practice

  2. Modeling reading skills with teacher support

  3. Assigning texts for silent home reading

  4. Encouraging competitive reading activities

The correct answer is: Modeling reading skills with teacher support

Shared reading primarily involves modeling reading skills with teacher support. During shared reading, the teacher reads a text aloud while students follow along. This strategy allows students to see and hear a proficient reader in action, learn decoding strategies, and develop comprehension skills through discussion facilitated by the teacher. It is different from silent home reading or competitive reading activities. While individual practice can also help improve fluency, shared reading is more about the teacher modeling skills and supporting students in real-time.
