  1. Peer-Assisted Reading Method

  2. Teaching Diverse Students • Teaching students from various socioeconomic backgrounds and various learning abilities is a challenge for teachers. • Fuchs, Fuchs, and Burish (2000) maintain that the concept of students assisting each other provides a viable alternative for improving instruction in a diverse class.

  3. Guidelines for establishing peer-assisted reading programs • It is helpful to rank the top readers and the low readers in the class; select pairs by selecting a high achiever and a low achiever. • The reading material should be at the low achiever’s instructional reading level. • Reading Procedure: high achiever reads, low achiever reads, the two students discuss the reading with one asking questions and the other answering.

  4. Guidelines Cont. • Tutoring Rules: Only talk to your partner, only talk about partner reading, and be cooperative. • Errors include saying the word incorrectly, omitting a word, adding a word, and pausing longer than 4 seconds. • Each pair should work together three to four times per week.
