What strategy can help with prosody and speed in reading?

Copying texts
Reading new texts only once
Repeated readings of favorite texts
Silent reading alone

The correct answer is: Repeated readings of favorite texts

Repeated readings of favorite texts can help improve prosody and speed in reading because familiarity with the text allows the reader to focus more on expression, intonation, and fluency. By reading the same text multiple times, readers can become more comfortable with the words and their meaning, which naturally enhances their ability to read with better rhythm and pace. This strategy also helps in developing confidence and automaticity in reading aloud, which are essential components of prosody. On the other hand, options A, B, and D do not specifically target prosody and speed improvement in the same way as repeated readings of favorite texts do.
