Abstract

Paired reading is a form of cooperative learning where two schoolstudents take the role of tutor (the better reader) and tutee (thereader with the lower level of development). They read togetherand errors are corrected, praise is given, and questions are askedabout the text being read. There is therefore, a strong need for socialinteraction between the peers. It has strong evidence as a low-cost technique to improve reading in western European contexts.
