Prosody relates to which aspect of reading?

  1. Reading with expression and appropriate intonation

  2. Understanding the main idea and supporting details

  3. Decoding complex vocabulary words

  4. Identifying visual features of written language

The correct answer is: Reading with expression and appropriate intonation

Prosody is fundamentally connected to the way a reader conveys meaning through oral reading. It involves the use of expression, voice modulation, rhythm, and intonation, which are essential for bringing a text to life and ensuring that the audience comprehends not just the words but also the emotional nuances and underlying meanings. Reading with expression and appropriate intonation helps to clarify the text's tone and adds depth to the reader's interpretation, making it a critical skill in proficient reading. The other options address different reading skills: understanding the main idea and supporting details relates to comprehension, decoding complex vocabulary involves phonics and word recognition, and identifying visual features of written language pertains to text structure and layout. Each of these areas is important, but they do not capture the essence of prosody as effectively as the chosen answer does.
