Paired (or Partner) Reading
Included on this site are directions for using paired reading, examples for cross-curricular use, a brief list of children’s books to use with the strategy, tips for differentiated instruction, and research that supports the strategy.
Paired reading is a researched-based fluency strategy use with readers who lack fluency. In this strategy, students read aloud to each other. When using partners, more fluent readers can be paired with less fluent readers, or children who read at the same level can be paired to retread a story they have already read. Paired reading can be used with any book; taking turns reading by sentence, paragraph, page or chapter.
