Criticisms of the automaticity model of reading acquisition include a lack of focus on comprehension as the ultimate goal of reading. Too much focus on fluency to the neglect of comprehension is a correlative criticism. Miscue analysis, tracking students’ errors or “miscues,” has demonstrated that even early readers use prediction as well as translation into dialect as they read, thereby using tools outside of those described in the automaticity model. A third criticism is that dyslexic readers, because of the inherent decoding problems they face, necessarily have trouble following the model and sustaining the reading rates recommended for fluency
1. The passage suggests that all the following are flaws in the automaticity model of reading acquisition EXCEPT
A. failure to consider all the methods commonly used by developing readers.
B. measuring reading ability by fluency.
C. prioritizing efficiency in reading over understanding.
D. insufficient research.
E. basic assumptions about the reader’s processing ability.

Explanation
Reading through the passage, you can determine answer choice (D) to be the correct answer, because there is no mention of amount of research done or needed concerning the automaticity model. Research is out of scope. Choices (A), (B), and (C) are explicitly stated in the passage: (A) may be found in the description of early readers, and (B) and (C) may be found in the criticism of focusing on fluency over understanding. Choice (E) can be derived from the third criticism about dyslexia, which is that the automaticity model does not account for irregularities in processing ability.
