2.+Paired+Reading

=Paired Reading=

"Say Something" – in this strategy, students are pause and reflect while they are reading. Students stop at pre-selected points and talk with a partner for a moment about the text, and then continue reading. This strategy helps students to clarify confusing parts, ask questions, make predictions, react to the text or connect it to something else. This strategy uses similar skills to Reciprocal Teaching.

1. With a partner, choose a text from the home page. 2. Chunk the reading into manageable sections. 3. One partner reads aloud, while the other listens. 4. When section is completed the partner who did not read says something (a connection, a question, a prediction, etc.). 5. The other partner then says something about that section. 6. If you cannot say something, re-read the text. 7. Switch partners and follow the same pattern with the next section of text.
 * Practicing Paired Reading:**

fun to hear other people's ideas forces all students to participate good for my reading comp class-3 kid + 1 teachers if you do it long enough, they might internalize the steps and use it to approach difficult texts
 * Reflect:** Each group share your thoughts on the strategy on the wiki. Only one person can edit the page at a time.
 * What did you like about the strategy?

work it will take to get to the place where they are independent takes longer to read through text
 * What was difficult about the strategy?
 * What will you need to think about when using this strategy with students?
