This intervention targets student reading fluency in sessions of 10-15 minutes. The teacher selects a passage at the student's instructional level. The student is directed to follow along silently and take the place in the text with a finger while the teacher reads the passage aloud. Then the student is prompted to read the passage aloud as the teacher follows along silently. Whenever the student commits a reading error or hesitates for 3 seconds or longer, the teacher stops the student, points to and says the error word, has the student read the word aloud correctly, has the student read the surrounding phrase that includes the error word, and then directs the student to continue reading. Optionally, the teacher may then have the student read the passage again (repeated reading) up to two more times as the teacher continues to silently monitor and correct any errors or hesitations.
