Read aloud
Rehearsing a script for performance is a highly motivating way to implement repeated readings. Repeated readings promote an important reading skill known as fluency. Fluency is how a student reads text aloud.

There are three parts to fluency
    
Accuracy the ability to recognize a word and pronounce it properly
    
Automaticity the ability to read a word correctly and effortlessly
    
Prosody ​the ability to read a word with appropriate expression and phrasing so it sounds like natural speech.
Traditional approaches to fluency instruction focus on the first two, but rarely are programs implemented to effectively increase a student’s prosody (Young & Rasinski, 2009)

Prosody is a huge indicator of whether a student is understanding text. And Comprehension, how student understands text, is the ultimate goal of reading.
