How to use paired reading

How to pair students

Pair students either by same reading ability or by high level readers with low level readers. Use the following steps to pair high-level readers with low-level readers:

List the students in order from highest to lowest according to reading ability

Divide the list in half

Place the top student in the first list with the top student in the second list

Continue until all students have been partnered

Be sensitive to pairings of students with special needs, including learning or emotional needs. Adjust pairings as necessary

The reader from the first list should read first while the reader from the second list listens and follows along

The second reader should pick up where the first reader stops. If additional practice is needed, the second reader can reread what the first reader read

Encourage pairs to ask each other about what was read. "What was your page about? What was your favorite part?"

Implementing the strategy

1. Introduce the students to the Paired Reading strategy. This includes:

Establishing a routine for students to adopt so that they know the step-by-step requirements for engaging in paired reading (i.e. Will they read out loud, simultaneously? Will they take turns with each person reading a paragraph? a page? Or will one person read while the other person listens?).

Teaching students an error-correction procedure to use when supporting each other's reading (i.e. re-reading misread words; signals for difficulty).

Modeling the procedure to ensure that students understand how to use the strategy.

2. Ask students to begin reading in pairs and adjust reading speed if reading simultaneously so they stay together.

3. Have students offer feedback and praise frequently for correct reading.

4. Monitor and support students as they work.

A fourth purpose is to demonstrate the effectiveness of instruction. The information gained from assessment allows teachers to know if all students are mastering the content covered. It is important for teachers to use instructional time effectively, and this can be done when teachers are knowledgeable about what their students are ready to learn and what they already know.
