My name is Meriel Collins. I am a tutor trainer, LVA and Laubach trained, and an instructor in an adult Competencey Based High School Diploma program in Hawaii. I am part of the EFF team at my Community School for adults, and am new to tyhis listserv. Hope it is appropriate to respond to you this way??? I was interested in your Assisted Reading methodology...sounds much like Laubach's "Duet Reading" or "Neurological Impress Method". Duet Reading works well in helping students develop reading fluency and reading with expression. It is not a comprehension exercise...it is a strategy to develop fluency and expressiveness. Seeing the words/symbols and hearing themselves say the words as they are reading (multi-sensory) seems to address varied learning styles and works with varying degrees of success depending on the individual student's capacities. I have used Duet Reading successfully with adult students both in one-on-one and classroom sessions. I will read further responses with great interest... Mahalo, Meriel
