Topic: Tutoring

10-second review: Planning sessions: Need assessment (Why are paraprofessionals needed?); strategy, rationale, brief research review and application of the research. Paraprofessionals should discuss what happened after using the strategies with children. Examples of strategies: echo reading, choral reading, preview, repeated readings, phrased readings, sorting of various kinds; summarizing, asking questions, inferring, guided discussion.
