About This Worksheet
This worksheet focuses on echo reading, which is a powerful strategy for building fluency. In this type of activity, a teacher (or parent) reads a line first, and the student repeats it. This gives students a strong model of what good reading sounds like. For Grade 2 learners, this kind of guided practice can really boost confidence.

Student Tasks
