programmes to our schools.
So what is Peer reading?
So what is Peer reading?
Paired reading is a research-based fluency strategy used with readers who lack fluency. In this strategy, students read aloud to each other. When using partners, more fluent readers can be paired with less fluent readers, or children who read at the same level can be paired to reread a story they have already read.That's it in a nutshell. We held a workshop to explore the merits of Peer Reading and to allow teachers to feel confident to use the technique with their students. The workshop also covered phonemic awareness, phonics and reading comprehension. All of these components are critical when trying to improve reading skills and allowing students to enjoy reading

We have been really encouraged by the response to the peer reading programme and have been able to negotiate and schedule weekly slots in the time table. The older students are really enjoying being the teachers and the younger students are having more exposure to reading in a 1:1 scenario.We have also started using this with students of the same age in the same class.The teachers have begun to do peer reading when students have finished their work. This keeps everyone on task and increases proficiency
