Reading
a student’s paper aloud to him helps him encounter his work through someone
else’s first experience. Of course, it is polite to ask his permission because
the material might be personal. With his permission, then read aloud and ask
him to mark any parts that sound awkward. Explain that we will return to these
later to address the problem, but that for now, it is enough just to notice the
stumbling blocks and mark them. At the end of the reading, compliment the student
on something such as how interesting his ideas were, how he organized the body
well, or how he wrote a snazzy ending. It is important to compliment the
student at this stage because you’ve just finished exposing his work. A
compliment helps establish trust and rapport.
