Re: [MOSAIC] Round Robin Reading_partner reading

2007-07-23 Thread j browne
Just a clarification...when I mentioned partner reading, I was talking about
two kids, that I partner up,  sitting together and reading a section.
Partner reading , in my room,  is completely orchestrated by me. I pick the
partners.  I use DRA levels and match kids up.  If I had 24 kids in my
class, I would list them from highest DRA to lowest, cut my list in half,
and then the person listed number 1 would be partnering with person number
13.  I do this because I want the highest working with the middle student,
and the middle student working with a lower reader.  I find that if two
'higher' readers are together, they tend to be a little bossy, and their
personalities actually work better with a middle reader.  My middle readers
work nicely with a lower reader and seem to be more helpful then bossy.
Hope this makes sense.
Oh, there are days when some partner groups don't work out and I have to
make changes, but on the whole, it seems to work .
Sometimes I do let the kids choose their own partners, but mostly partner
groups in my room are set up by me.

This is the way Richard Allington suggests partnering students in What Really 
Matters for Struggling Readers.
