Read Aloud With Fluency and Expression Practice Test

Read about two readings. Jamal reads a page aloud. First time: he reads too fast, misses some words, and his voice sounds like a robot. Second time after practice: he reads the words correctly, at a good speed, and his voice changes for the question mark and the exclamation point. His teacher says fluent reading helps the story sound like talking.

Which reading showed better fluency?

Read about Chen. Chen reads a story aloud. He reads the words correctly and at a good speed, but his voice stays flat and he does not pause for commas or make his voice go up for questions. His teacher says expression helps listeners understand feelings in the story.

What should Chen do to read more fluently?
