Echo Reading: A Helpful Literacy Exercise - NPT3
Season 2022
Episode 5
In echo reading, you first read a passage aloud and then have the child/students echo (or copy) you by rereading the passage out loud trying to match the way you just read it. This is similar to choral reading, except in echo reading the students read the passage by themselves rather than with you the second time.
