Reading in Pairs
8. - Reading in Pairs gives families the possibility to help children at home
doing school tasks.

sisters, uncles, aunts...) in the knowledge process has a positive
influence in the academic results.

speaking
o the relation with the family
member

o know the child as student
o be closer to the school tasks and
activities
9. 1. Pacteu amb el nen/a els dies i hores de les sessions.
2. Trieu un lloc tranquil, còmode, amb bona llum i amb poques coses que us distreguin.
3. Tracteu de viure la sessió no com un moment de deures i d’obligació, sinó com una
bona estona que passeu junts.
4. Prepareu-vos prèviament l’activitat. Penseu en les possibles dificultats que podrà
tenir el nen/a i la manera de solucionar-les. Feu sempre les activitats prèvies a la
lectura i procureu despertar la seva curiositat i interès per llegir el text.
5. Quan llegiu junts, procureu anar només una mica per davant d’ell/a. D’aquesta
manera marcareu la velocitat i l’entonació.
6. Quan llegeixi només el nen/a i vosaltres utilitzeu el mètode de lectura en parella PPP,
recordeu de donar-li temps perquè ell mateix trobi l’error. Amb les pistes, el mateix. I
acabeu sempre amb la P del Premi (donant ànims per continuar llegint).
7. El nen/a us pot preguntar coses que vosaltres no sapigueu. No passa res. Reconeixeu
que no ho sabeu i busqueu junts la resposta. Us pot ser útil tenir un diccionari
sempre a prop.
8. Després de les activitats de comprensió –que es faran de manera oral–, recordeu de
demanar al nen/a que faci la lectura expressiva i, sobretot, feu-lo adonar què cada
cop està llegint millor.
