Re: Round Robin Reading
Posted by connie on 11/26/07

    I don't need more research to tell me round robin has a place in
    reading groups! I have used it here and there along with other
    techniques. Used properly, it teaches children to follow along
    while a story is being read. I almost never go around the table
    but stop at the end of a random sentence and call out another
    reader's name. If one child is not attending, I ask the group to
    go back to the previous sentence so that Johnny can hear the
    sentence again.

    I use round robin with everyone, but on a much more limited
    basis with very struggling readers. I make sure it isn't a cold
    read for them. Round robin got a bad name but it certainly is an
    effective technique to use by reading teachers who understand the
    nuances and how to keep a group moving along. When I taught
    first, I could listen to my whole class almost every day.

    Maybe I should write a heretical book "Bring Back Round Robin".
