Which principle advocates daily reading of various text types and includes activities to improve fluency?

• A. Daily Reading Practice
• B. Comprehension Strategies
• C. Encourage Writing
• D. Structured Literacy

Answer: (A)

Daily reading practice centers on building fluency through regular, varied reading experiences and activities that specifically target speed, accuracy, and expression. When students read every day and encounter a mix of text types—fiction, nonfiction, poetry, informational passages—they hear how language is constructed in different contexts, which helps them recognize common patterns and vocabulary more automatically. Including fluency-building activities such as repeated readings, paired or guided reading, choral or performance reading, and timed readings gives students purposeful practice that strengthens pace, prosody, and smoothness while still supporting comprehension. In contrast, other options focus more on strategies for understanding, writing development, or systematic decoding instruction, rather than a daily, varied fluency-building routine. So, daily reading practice best fits the description of advocating regular exposure to different texts with activities aimed at improving fluency.
