I have a question in getting started with SuperSpeed 100; regarding pairing a higher student with a lower student, how does the higher student move ahead if the students are at the same level alternating from word to word?

Thanks

Since students are alternating turns, they're both getting the practice/review. Their "team" will naturally progress/break records, regardless of their starting place or individual speed. Because they are a team, they are aiming to beat their last record. I think the record-breaking incentive is more for student motivation than for assessment/placement purposes. (Personally--I wouldn't pair two students who have significantly different ability levels--more than one grade level. Just curious...have your students, or do you anticipate them asking questions about their level/records? Or did you want to find a way to use this game as assessment?)

I have the lower student just do his own game, while his higher partner tracks. Then they switch and the higher student goes first, while the lower student tracks.
