Beyond Paired Reading

How Do You Want To Progress?

Choose your option:

Stop Paired Reading for a rest (and perhaps start again later)?

• Go on with Paired Reading, but only twice a week?
• Go on with Paired Reading just as often as now?
• Go on to Stage 3 - Reading Mini-help,
• Go on to Stage 4 - Reading Silently
• Go on to Stage 5 - Reading Solo

How To Go On From Here:

1. Paired Reading Occasionally

2. Paired Reading Regularly

3. Reading Mini-help

   Tutee attempts all words Reading Alone; Tutor gives correct example of error word only; Tutee repeats correctly and continues Reading Alone.

4. Reading Silently

   Pair both read each page silently sitting together; Pair discuss & question about content at natural breaks.

5. Reading Solo

   Pair discuss book; Tutee Reads Alone silently sitting alone; Tutee visits tutor at natural break for discussion/questions. If the tutee tends to continue too long alone, a suitable natural break is agreed in advance.

Notes:

• If the tutee chooses a harder book, also choose a lower Stage.
• Remember, the aim is NOT to get to Stage 5 and stay there.
• Reading Together will still be necessary on very hard books!
• Keep in touch with school about how you are doing.
• REMEMBER - LOTS OF PRAISE AT EVERY STAGE
