4. What are the benefits the author describes of having students read aloud, especially students with decoding problems?
The author found that oral word reading strategies significantly increased vocabulary learning. A study found that reading conducted about had a significant positive impact on poor readers.

Along with directing students to pronounce new words aloud when encountering them in
