Abstract | This paper considers how the services of paraprofessionals might be used in teaching and learning situations, especially reading instruction. The paper points out that teachers need to observe each child and notice if modifications need to be made in teaching reading, a situation that becomes quite difficult for the regular teacher to determine when he/she is teaching an entire classroom of students. It suggests that the regular teacher can do the evaluating of each student's reading level, while the paraprofessional can involve the other students in purposeful reading activities. The paper finds that the paraprofessional (especially in the case of retired teachers) can assist the teacher in basal reader use, especially in developing word recognition skills in students. In the case of individualized reading, the paper notes that retired teachers might fill responsibilities of working within the framework of basal reader use and individualized reading. The paper cites nine differences between basal reader and individualized reading philosophy, differences which paraprofessionals should be aware of. (NKA) |
