Repeated reading provides the least support for a child since they're reading on their own without the help of another reader.

The child should try to reread a text 3-4 times using this strategy.

Benefits of Repeated Reading

In repeated reading, children can improve both their accuracy and rate as they work on reading more quickly each time they go through the text.

It's important for children to focus on their own progress rather than comparing themselves to others. The goal of timed repeated reading is to encourage them to improve upon their own performance.

Children take turns reading the same passage aloud until they achieve a specific goal set before they start. The teacher assists each child in timing themselves and keeping track of their progress.
