Teacher Interview: Making Learning Relevant (Video)

open Background Essay

Repeated reading helps learners to understand content. Alternate reading aloud between the instructor and learners allows for the reinforcement of hearing the material while reading along. Although some learners may be hesitant, it is helpful to have them read aloud, as well.

In this video, adult education instructor Tanya Johnson both reads aloud and coaches learners as they read aloud. She emphasizes that the best way to understand a passage is to “read it again.”
