Question

the ability to recognize words automatically
the ability to pronounce words correctly when reading out loud
the ability to read all of the words in a text without missing any
the ability to read the most words per minute
the ability to understand words in context

Answer 1

The characteristics of an accurate reader include:

• the ability to recognize words automatically
• the ability to pronounce words correctly when reading out loud
• the ability to understand words in context

The other options do not accurately reflect the characteristics of an accurate reader:

• The ability to read all of the words in a text without missing any is not realistic, as accurate reading does not necessarily mean not missing any words.
• The ability to read the most words per minute focuses more on speed rather than accuracy, which is not a defining characteristic of an accurate reader.
