APause after every word to show pride.

BRead steadily, pause after beds, and slow slightly for proud of their work.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A student reads a paragraph with good accuracy and expression but sometimes rushes over commas. Which rubric score note is most helpful?

ARate is mostly appropriate; add brief comma pauses to make phrases clearer.

BRate is too slow because commas should be read faster.
