Paired reading means sitting down with your child and reading aloud together, using your finger to point to each word as you read. If your child makes a mistake, back up to that word and correct the mistake.
Echo reading is when you read a passage or sentence from a book to your child, and then have your child read the passage back to you, using the same expressions you did while reading. You can practice echo reading with a favorite storybook, classroom book, poem or non-fiction book.
Since poetry involves repetition of phrases, verses and sounds it is easier to memorize than sentences and lines from a book. Practice fluency with your child by reading poetry aloud together, or have your child read to you from a favorite book of poetry. Have your child memorize a few lines of a poem; memorization helps your child grasp the meaning and context of the words and will help him read quickly, accurately and with expression.
Some children's books are available as audio books or have a CD to pair with the book while reading. If your child is able to hear the words being read aloud while following along with the words in the book, he will be able to grasp the concepts more quickly than if he was trying to read alone with no interaction.
Take a scene from your child's favorite book and re-enact it. Allow him to look at the text as you play out the scene, but encourage your child to be expressive while reading aloud. Using different voices for each of the characters will help your child enjoy the dramatic reading and will improve expression as well as accuracy and speed.
