Paired Reading: A Guide For Parents—Part II

As described in Part I, in Paired Reading “the parent and child begin reading aloud together and continue until the child makes an error. The parent supplies the correct word, the child repeats the word and rereads the sentence, and simultaneous (“duet”) reading continues. When the child feels ready to read alone, he or she gives a prearranged signal [e.g., a thumb up], and the parent stops reading while the child continues” (Rathvon, 2008, p. 193). Read more...

Paired Reading: A Guide For Parents—Part I
Keith Topping. Ph.D.
In March, we published two posts on Paired Reading. Consequently, several parents and teachers wanted more information. Graciously, Dr. Keith Topping, Director of the Centre for Paired Learning and Graduate Educational Psychology at the University of Dundee, Scotland, allowed us to republish his guide.
First we’ll briefly describe Paired Reading, Then, in the next two posts, we’ll provide Dr. Topping’s guide, with slight modifications.

As a follow-up to our first post on Paired Reading, Dr. Topping suggested that interested professionals, education majors, and parents visit his university website to get free resources about Paired Reading: http://www.dundee.ac.uk/eswce/research/projects/trwresources/
Once on the site, click Paired Reading . You’ll also see valuable resources about Writing, Spelling, and Thinking. You can download most of these resources.
Visiting the site and studying the materials will give you information that may help you make better decisions for children who struggle with reading.
