Overview of Duet Reading

Duet reading involves tutors reading aloud with their students. The technique is useful when students want to read materials above their current reading level. Duet reading helps students to:

• increase their vocabulary and fluency of reading.
• discover that reading can be enjoyable.
• gain confidence in their reading ability.
• learn to read with expression.

Ideally duet reading works with students who have some reading ability but read hesitantly, word by word, or with little expression.
