regular passages stage, the teacher listened to make sure that each student was not reading in a monotone, choppy or robotic method. She also listened to make sure that the student was not rushing to finish, failing to take into account punctuation and natural pauses and intonation in sentences. She would explicitly and overtly model intonation, phrasing, rate and tone any time that she was required to reading during the stages of intervention and would remind the students to emulate these. If any of the students read in an overtly choppy or monotone way and/or without any regard She would model their inappropriate reading and com- pare it to a more appropriate model.
