What Really Happens during a Paired Reading Project?

Winter, Sam

British Journal of Special Education, v18 n1 p20-24 Mar 1991

The success of the Paired Reading (PR) technique is examined, and a study involving 43 pairs of Hong Kong students (ages 10-11) in a PR project is reported. It is concluded that the projects' success may not lie in the technique itself but in improving tutees' motivation, confidence, and self-esteem as readers. (JDD)
