Abstract:  Round robin reading (RRR) has been a classroom staple for as long as many of us can remember and an activity that over half of trained teachers report using in one of its many forms. RRR’s popularity endures despite the evidence that the practice is ineffective for its stated purpose: enhancing fluency, word decoding, and comprehension. SHARP Reading uses the principles of teaching reading in its hierarchal practice developing and cementing reading skills for students. SHARP Reading is a routine where the focus is placed on the students as they develop one reading skill before moving onto the next. SHARP Reading is an approach where students learn to read first and then read to learn.

摘要: 在我们的记忆中，轮流阅读（Round Robin Reading）一直是课堂所采用的主流阅读模式。超过一半的专业教师表示，他们曾带领学生以不同形式进行轮流阅读。虽然有证据显示，这阅读模式成效不大，但因它宣称能提高阅读者的语文流利程度、字词解码和理解能力，它仍被广泛地使用。SharpReading以分级阅读为原则，在循序渐进的过程中，学生的阅读技能获得稳定发展。它帮助学生把阅读成为习惯，在一项阅读技能建立起来后，才进入下一项。它首先让学生学会阅读，继而从阅读中学习。
