Reading fluency plays a significant role in reading accuracy, speed, and comprehension. The paired reading technique can be used to increase reading fluency and can be implemented by a parent, teacher, tutor, or peer.
Guided notes help students stay engaged during lecture or individual reading. Students can use these notes to help study for exams because it is an example of the important information about the topic.
Unit organizers allow students and teachers to create a road map of a particular unit. These maps can then be recalled later to determine if all objectives have been met.
Comparing and contrasting concepts, ideas, people, places, and words have been widely used in order to understand critical concepts. These charts also help organize thoughts and ideas for struggling students.
Peer tutoring is an instructional strategy in which students are tutored, and in some cases taught, by their peers in order to supplement teacher-directed instruction.
Peer Tutoring
Think, pair, share allows students to individually think about a question then discuss that question with another student before sharing their findings to the class. This activity can be used for a variety of questions and age levels.
