ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method for promoting reading in a novice reader and a book to be used in the method. The book includes a story with two texts, one written at a reading level appropriate for a skilled reader and the other written at a lower reading level appropriate for the novice reader. The texts are arranged in alternating sections and each section forms a piece of the story and supplements the preceding section. In the method, the skilled reader and novice reader take turns reading aloud from the book while the other follows along with the words, so that each reader is responsible for reading a substantial portion of the story. The method and the book thus provide for a shared reading experience that is advantageous for encouraging and facilitating the novice reader to learn to read.
