Reading, which we encounter at every stage of life, is an important activity for the continuity of life. Every individual in life is faced with reading in life. Reading activity is an indispensable need. Individuals need reading to keep up with life in society. Readers who cannot understand what they read have difficulty in establishing semantic ties and reinforcing the established semantic relations. An individual's ability to construct their own meaning from the text is not limited to his own competence. Such that, in a reading aloud by the child in the classroom environment, the condition of the classroom atmosphere may affect the fluent reading of the child positively or negatively. In this case, it leads to reading errors, especially for children with reading difficulties. These problems that students experience while reading are analyzed as the concept of reading difficulties. The fact that students lag behind in learning to read even though they have no physical or mental problems during reading is known as reading disability. The academic success of a student who has reading difficulties in all subjects is negatively affected. Reading comprehension methods and techniques have been developed to help students gain reading comprehension skills. One of these methods and techniques is the paired reading method. There are two aspects of paired reading in the practice process. The first of these is paired reading, such as teacher-student, family member-child, and strong reader-weak reader. The second is reading alone. In the first, reading is done in all aspects at the same time, while in the other, the reader is given time and opportunity to criticize. It allows the child to read more accurately by making the reader repeat the mistakes made during reading alone. Paired reading method is also included in the literature as "paired reading". It can be said that paired reading can be used to improve reading skills with appropriate strategies and practices.
