| Summary: | Noting that there are many strategies a teacher can use to increase motivation and confidence of students who avoid reading, this paper discusses the strategy of using repeated readings through audio support. After an overview, the paper discusses setting up the program. Three scenarios are presented: a student who does not like to read, a student who enjoys reading but reads slowly and has difficulty making sense of what is read, and the student who reads word by word and who has no other strategy than to ask for help on tricky words. Accompanying strategies and activities to consider when using the repeated readings technique are discussed. The paper concludes that, using repeated readings with audio support, students can become expert readers and can learn self monitoring and self correcting behaviors. (RS) |
