Narrator

Let's discuss the procedures for pairing students. When pairing students, rank all students in the class according to reading ability. Next, divide the list in half and pair the top-ranked student in the higher performing half with the top-ranked student in the lower performing half. Then pair the next two students from each half. Continue this process until all students are paired, with partner one, the higher-performing student, helping partner two, the lower-performing student.
