I hope Im not too late Good luck and I know you will be pleased I hope that these suggestions help 1st I begin with a democratic class management respect the rights of others no ridicule
next I have books available on students' desks for directly after recess or lunch Partner Readers usually are paired with average to above average reader and struggling reader this works if climate in class is character ed driven and modeled daily for this procedure Or partner readers are reading a book of interest This has truly worked for me and I monitor and walk around to see if they are pretending or engaged tho, after a time You will see that they will become more self-directed and model all the behaviors you will need for successful partner readers. I ,also, use read alouds to get the students started in various books and think alouds; my reactions to what I am reading at the time this is whole class tho. I dont use partner reders daly but 2 or 3 times a week works but we read daily if struggling readers are reading picture books I'm delighted I dont read as the students read because the students will leave the task and move to off- tasks behaviors and ususally its 15- 20 mins at 1st In time they will graduate to 40 mins but not at 1st Happy Reading Have A pleaseant holiday season Sincerely Susan Donnelly
