This article deals with methods of oral-reading, which aim to improve reading competence and reading fluency. Important when reading aloud are the following components: decoding, accuracy, automaticity, fluency, reading speed and text comprehension. All these components should be practised with the following oral-reading methods: repeated reading, assisted reading or paired repeated reading. All of these reading-aloud methods contribute to the increase in reading competence. Therefore, they should be applied also in the teaching of German as a foreign language.
