Echo Reading

Echo Reading

"Echo reading is a reading strategy that will help struggling readers with fluency, reading orally, new vocabulary, and comprehension. For echo reading, all you need is a book on your student's level and a reader for students to echo. It is a simple reading strategy to help your students gain skills."

• The Process

  "If you teach remedial reading, then you know helping struggling readers with fluency and comprehension as well as reading on grade level is important to improve their skills and confidence. You can use echo reading activities to help these students. Here's the way echo reading works best:

  1. All readers have a copy of the text. The teacher or the lead reader reads a line of text. It will depend on the age and ability level of your students when deciding how much to read at one time.
  2. While the leader reads out loud with expression and at a good pace, the rest of the group follows along in the text.
  3. After the reader reads a line or sentence, then the students read it out loud. They try to imitate the way the leader reads the text during echo reading activities. (N.a., 2017)
