Pair Up!

Paired Reading is a method that brings two readers of different abilities together to read a book and improve fluency. The more proficient reader helps the other reader with pronunciation, word meaning, and comprehension of the story. Paired Reading offers teachers a solution to meet the needs of all learners in their classrooms through a unique approach of bringing students of different abilities together building and reinforcing skills taught in class leaving time for teachers to work with others.

Pair Up! combines traditional routines from paired reading and peer tutoring with innovative books that offer on-level reading opportunities for BOTH students. Students, each with their own copy of the book, share the same text with passages for both students to read at their own readability levels with minimal teacher support. Pairs of students work together to prepare, read, support and share.
