ABSTRACT This article is an investigation into the Reading Partners scheme at a large inner London comprehensive school in England; this research comes from a small scale study I carried out as part of my Masters of Teaching at the Institute of Education, University College London. Reading Partners is a project whereby younger and older students within the secondary school education system are paired up to read aloud together in the school library every week over the course of a school year. The purpose of my study was to explore the relationships between these readers and to further understand what is gained from such shared reading. I argue that such collaborative reading aloud provides fertile ground for students’ development and that the sessions go beyond ‘just’ reading and, in fact, make reading become a ‘social’ activity. The significance of the personal relationship these students build and all that happens ‘beyond’ reading texts together should not be underestimated.

学校社区中的阅读合作阅读伙伴关系

摘要 本文是对英国伦敦市中心一所大型综合学校的阅读伙伴计划的调查；这项研究来自我在伦敦大学学院教育学院攻读教学硕士学位期间进行的一项小规模研究。Reading Partners 是一个项目，中学教育系统中的低年级和高年级学生在一个学年中每周在学校图书馆结对朗读。我研究的目的是探索这些读者之间的关系，并进一步了解从这种共同阅读中获得的东西。我认为，这种协作朗读为学生的发展提供了肥沃的土壤，而且这些课程不仅仅是“只是”阅读，实际上，使阅读成为一种“社交”活动。
