Curriculum
Cooperative and Paired Learning
Children
work in cooperative pairs where each child has a different role
in the completion of the activity. For example, in Buddy Reading,
children take turns reading. One child has a picture of lips to
remind that child to read. The other child has a picture of an ear
to remind that child to listen. This ensures that each child gets
a turn and that the child who reads knows that he or she has to
talk about the book. The teacher will model how to do this if a
child does not know what to do.
