(A) Skilled readers always read at the same speed. (B) The hybrid approach teaches readers to change their reading speed as needed. (C) Audiovisual preview is more important than silent reading. (D) Only unskilled readers need to decelerate. (D) Answering questions without reading the passage
In conclusion, while YouTube is not a substitute for direct practice with ETS-style passages, it serves as a valuable ancillary tool. When used with intentionality—focusing on captions, syntactic breakdowns, and active reading of transcripts—it can transform the solitary task of reading practice into a scaffolded, multi-sensory experience. 1.
