Partner Reading
Partners take turns reading aloud for five minutes. When not
reading, they listen for omissions, mispronunciations, and insertions
and provide corrective feedback when necessary. The program
calls for the stronger reader in each dyad to read first, giving an
opportunity for the weaker reader in the pair to preview the passage
and review difficult words before it's his or her turn to reread the
same text. Students switch roles after five-minute blocks.
Paragraph Shrinking
Readers monitor their comprehension and make deliberate
judgments in the selection and reduction of textual information and
elaborate on information in the text. The reader states the main
idea of the passage (who or what the passage is about), gives a 10-
word summary of the passage, and provides a sequential retelling
of the important events of the passage.
