Which technique is NOT typically associated with promoting prosody in reading?

Independent silent reading is not typically associated with promoting prosody in reading because prosody refers to the rhythm, stress, and intonation in spoken language that can enhance comprehension and expressiveness. Prosody involves vocalizing elements such as tone and pacing, which are not practiced during silent reading.

In contrast, techniques such as echo reading, where students imitate the teacher's reading, reading aloud with expression, and modeling with appropriate phrasing all actively engage students in vocalizing text. These methods provide immediate feedback and opportunities for practice in using proper pitch, rhythm, and emotional tone, which are essential components of prosody. While silent reading is a valuable skill for fluency and comprehension, it does not foster the vocal characteristics that are integral to prosody.
