An "auto read/student listening" strategy, where students listen to text read aloud, fulfills the criteria of evidence-based practices for facilitating reading comprehension by providing auditory reinforcement and focusing on comprehension rather than decoding, which is beneficial for all students, especially those with reading difficulties or dyslexia.
When students listen to text read aloud, they receive auditory input that complements the visual text, helping to reinforce understanding and making it easier to grasp the meaning. For students struggling with decoding (like those with dyslexia), listening to text allows them to focus on comprehension rather than struggling to decode each word. By hearing the text read aloud, students can better process the information, identify key ideas, and follow the flow of the text, leading to improved comprehension.
