Speedy Paired Decoding

If they’re reading decodable readers, there’s an activity you can do called Speedy Paired Decoding. They basically hear each other, but it means they have to be on the same code level.

It’s not paired reading.
 

One child points to the word and the other says the phonemes. The pointer then says the word. At the end of the sentence, they read the sentence together in speaking voices.

So the book has to be at the code level of the person giving the sounds, and it secures and supports encoding.

The other child is able to look at higher code level texts and have them ‘sounded out’ for them. They’re obviously doing this for every word, including HFWs like said.
