In which reading exercise do students read along with an audiotape?

Tape-Assisted Reading is an effective reading exercise where students read along with an audiotape. This method combines listening and reading, allowing students to hear fluent reading while they follow along with the text. This dual engagement helps improve decoding skills, fluency, and comprehension, as students can match their reading speed and pronunciation to that of the audio, thereby reinforcing their learning.

In this context, other reading exercises may have different formats. Readers' Theater involves performing scripts aloud, focusing on expression rather than simultaneous listening to an audio source. Student-Adult Reading typically consists of a more experienced reader providing support to a student, which lacks the independent aspect of using an audiotape. Partner Reading encourages students to read aloud to each other, fostering collaboration but not the use of an audio guide. Each of these alternatives provides valuable practice in reading, but none employs the specific format of following an audiotape as effectively as Tape-Assisted Reading does.
