What makes you think they're being competitive? How are the students working together?
Offer some activities that bond them as they read.
You may want to start a reading program for low readers in your school called, "Read to the Dog." Studies show that "Read to the Dog" programs are successful in two ways. Shelter dogs get socialization, and struggling readers get a nonjudgmental audience.
A teaching strategy would be to help them understand the meaning of new words by teaching them first, that way when they do make it through the text the vocabulary will just follow.
I thik this is a great idea honestly. I always find that pairing the kids up like this usually works well and fosters working together and relationship building.
In my building we have a Tiering system; we are also required to differentiate the daily lesson activities to accommodate all students. This requires an incredible amount of lesson planning time, but what works best for my students is placing them in work groups. Competition to excel is a good thing as long as students are not disrespecting each other. I observe my students for at least one grading period before grouping, and each day during that time there is a story or quote on RESPECT posted for discussion. This sets the foundation for grouping and good citizenship within the class and the team.
This is a great idea! This way, kids can develop their own way of approaching new learnings. It could also teach them teamwork.
