Glossary

Definition of word.

miscue
mis-cue

A reading miscue is any unforced imperfection in reading a text. Reading miscues include deviations from the text such as substitutions, omissions, insertions, repetitions, hesitations, mispronunciations, or misplaced emphases of vocal tone (e.g., ignoring a comma, failing to lift your tone at the end of a question, or interjecting a sharp close at the end of a sentence which lacks an exclamation mark). Everyone experiences miscues. Even the most proficient readers will have miscues when reading sufficiently advanced material, especially when reading material from an unfamiliar field of study that is full of academic vocabulary.
