Reading aloud is very difficult in a class with multiple dyslexics: some find it very distressing; others are only too willing to read but delivery is so stilted and fragmented that it can be incoherent, losing the interest/attention of the rest of the class. Reading aloud practice can be gained in pairs or small groups of students who feel safe and comfortable with each other. Another strategy is for the teacher to hold the text together by reading most of it but calling on individual students to read one or two sentences, then the teacher quickly picking up the text again to sustain momentum.
