The first National Paired Reading Conference decided to establish a Paired Reading Information Network and to publish a journal. This bulletin is a direct result of this decision. It contains eight conference papers (constituting the conference proceedings), six feature articles, and four short reports (all with an emphasis on the method of simultaneously reading aloud in pairs), as follows: (1) "Paired Reading with Mixed Ability Middle Infants" (P. Bruce); (2) "The Home-School Reading Link in a Multi-Cultural Junior School" (P. Precious); (3) "Parental Involvement in Reading for High School Pupils" (P. Hodgson); (4) "Paired Reading in a School for the Physically Handicapped" (M. O'Hara); (5) "Shared Reading" (M. Greening and J. Spenceley); (6) "Paired Reading in a Social Services Day Nursery" (M.
