Tutoring Adolescent Readers
Deborah Berrill, Laura Doucette & Dirk Verhulst
Showing how to reap the benefits of one-to-one teaching by using reading tutors and classroom assistants, this book provides the information needed to develop a one-to-one reading programme that addresses a variety of pupil needs — from those who are unmotivated or have different learning styles, to those learning English for the first time, or who have a learning disability.
Teachers will learn everything they need to establish an effective tutoring programme that supports classroom instruction.
- Setting up a tutoring programme — defining roles and responsibilities
- Working with dependent readers — identifying those who need more help, tips for dealing with the specific learning needs and styles of pupils
- Using explicit instruction — encouraging tutors to identify ability levels; how to set goals to monitor progress
- Promoting fluency and word recognition — teaching cueing systems and effective reading strategies; specialised techniques for introducing and reviewing decoding skills.
Includes photocopiable resources for use with classroom assistants and tutors, which explain the essentials of reading instruction and investigate the variety of techniques used by good readers.
