Read the passage once silently. Then, reread it aloud while trying to read faster and more smoothly.Write three to five sentences explaining any strategies you used and what new understanding you gained from the text as a result of reading it aloud.

Answer:

When I first read the passage silently, I focused on identifying the main characters and the primary conflict. For my oral reading, I used strategies like chunking phrases and paying close attention to punctuation to improve my pacing and flow. Reading the text aloud helped me better understand the tone and the emotional tension between the characters, allowing me to hear their unique voices more clearly.
