Which strategy targets fluent reading by practicing the same text multiple times?

Repeated reading builds fluency by giving students multiple opportunities to read the same text. When a passage is practiced again and again, decoding becomes automatic, allowing the reader to focus more on speed, accuracy, and expression. The goal is for reading to flow smoothly, with fewer hesitations and better phrasing, which strengthens overall reading comprehension. Choral reading involves reading aloud with a group to model rhythm and pronunciation, which helps with accuracy and smoothness in a supportive setting, but it isn’t specifically about repeated individual practice of the same text to build fluency. Guided reading is about small-group instruction focused on comprehension strategies and text levels, not the repetitive practice of one passage for fluency. Morphemes deal with word parts and meaning, not fluency development through repetition.
