Accessing word practice
-
After reading a passage and seeing the results page, choose the button for “Practice words”.
-
You’ll find words that you had the most trouble pronouncing. Choose one to practice on and use one of the following options to help:
-
Break into syllables – by dividing the word into smaller, manageable parts, learners can focus on pronouncing each segment correctly before tackling the whole word. This method is particularly helpful for long or complex words.
-
Read aloud – an AI voice will read the word aloud. Hearing the correct pronunciation provides a clear model for learners to imitate. It's beneficial for auditory learners and helps in understanding the phonetic structure of the word.
3. Practice reading the word individually.
The 'Word Practice feature in Reading Coach is an invaluable resource for learners seeking to improve their pronunciation and reading fluency. By focusing on difficult words and providing various tools to assist in practice, learners can make targeted improvements in their reading skills.
