Are you able to do a mini workshop with these adults? If so you could name the
workshop "Alternatives to Round Robin Reading". That way you could let them
know in an impersonal way that RRR is not a good strategy and then the whole
workshop (1 hour or so) would be focused on what TO do. Maybe having one other
teacher to work with you will help with credibility so they don't think it's
just a whim of one teacher.

classroom for the past 6 years.
What I'm looking for is advice for teaching my TA (and adult
volunteers/substitutes) about the importance of using strategies other than
round robin reading for reading instruction. They are all well intentioned, and
I don't want them to be turned off, I'm going to need all the help I can get
this year! However, I also don't want my kids subjected to or confused by
ineffective practices.
How do you convince someone that what they are doing is wrong and ineffective
without stepping on their toes?
I'm still reading this off the archive, so I'm not sure who wrote it, but the
advice about having them already set up partner reading is good, but I want to
teach her so she will be a more effective member of my classroom. Also, she
tutors and needs to know this.
