Paired Reading: Positive Reading Practice,
A Training DVD with Accompanying Manual.

The training manual and DVD in this package were exclusively designed for the improvement of literacy at many levels and for all age groups. The technique outlined, based on the work of Dr. Keith Topping and Dr. Roger Morgan, provides a stress-free way in which fluent word recognition and reading comprehension can be developed. The DVD and manual also assist literacy leaders in training non-professional tutors and students in using the "Paired Reading" technique. The package can be used in the home, school, community reading programs and libraries.

Using the Paired Reading Method, this training package provides instruction for school-aged children and adults in Canada, and combines a prescribed technique for reading practice with positive feedback, discussion, and student control of learning. The training package contains:

(1) a DVD which provides detailed demonstrations of the Paired Reading technique and reviews the basic steps involved in Paired Reading instruction; and

(2) a manual which offers background information for educators using the videotape to train tutors and students. The manual's four chapters focus on: introducing the Paired Reading approach; organizing a Paired Reading project; using the DVD; and questions and answers about Paired Reading. Samples of in-service handouts, letters to initiate projects, and evaluation sheets are included at the back of the training package. (RS)
