In the article, "Using Paired Reading to Enhance the Fluency Skills of Less-Skilled Readers," Sandra Nes describes single-subject studies that were done on four upper elementary school students. The purpose of this study was to determine if one-on-one instruction from a skilled reader would improve a struggling student's reading fluency, accuracy, and comprehension. Austin, fourth grade, was a slow and choppy oral reader. His reading level was low and he lacked motivation and self-confidence. Randy, fifth grade, was one year below grade level in reading and had fluency problems which affected other subjects.
