# Lechatchila, one should read a pasuk twice and it’s Targum but if one read the whole parsha then the Targum one has fulfilled his obligation.<Ref> Chazon Ovadya ([[Shabbat]] 1 pg 301-2). Sefer Itim pg 244 says one should read it pasuk by pasuk. Leket yosher pg 54 says if one doesn’t have targum he can read the whole parsha twice and do targum when he finds Targum. Shelah writes that some read it pasuk by pasuk and some read the whole parsha twice and then the Targum and he prefers reading one paragraph at a time and then doing the Targum on that. So was the practice of the Gra (HaMaaseh Rav 60). However the Arizal (Shaare Kavanot 62a) would read it pasuk by pasuk. Magan Avraham 285:1, Maharam MeRutenberg (Pesakim VeMinahgim, Mehura HaRav Kahana pg 217), and Chida in Machzik Bracha 285:10 agree.</ref>

#  Someone who owns a Sefer Torah and knows how to read it with the tune and pronunciations should read it from a Sefer Torah. If one doesn’t know the correct way to read it well it’s preferable to read it from a Chumash that has Tamim and Nekudot.<Ref> Chazon Ovadya ([[Shabbat]] 1 pg 302-3)</ref>

#  If it's possible it's good not to interrupt when reading Shnayim Mikrah and a pious person should be strict about this. <ref>Mishna Brurah 285:6 writes if it's possible it's good not to interrupt when reading Shnayim Mikrah and a pious person should be strict about this. Kaf Hachaim 285:15 quotes this in the name of the Mekubalim and adds that if one is very thirsty one may interrupt to drink with a bracha before and after.

Kaf HaChaim Palagi 27:4 writes that in middle of Shnayim Mikrah one may not interrupt to talk even in Hebrew.</ref> Some allowed interrupting to answer a question. <ref>Rav Shlomo Zalman in Halichot Shlomo ([[Tefillah]], chap 12, note 105) would interrupt reading Shnayim Mikrah in order to answer a question because that entails the mitzvah of Chesed. He adds that Shnayim Mikrah isn't different than other Talmud Torah which may be interrupted in certain situations such as a passing mitzvah. </ref>

#  One can begin to read the weekly Parsha once the congregation (Tzibbur) read the Parsha at [[Shabbat]] [[Mincha]]. <Ref> Rama (Darchei Moshe 285:1) quotes a dispute between the Mordechai who says one can begin to read [[Shenayim Mikra]] from [[mincha]] of [[Shabbat]] when the congregation begins to read that parsha and the Kol Bo who argues that one can not read it then because earlier that day the congregation read the previous parsha. S”A 285:3 writes that one can start on Sunday. S"A Harav 285:5 and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 72:11 agree. The Mishna Brurah 285:7 explains that the language of Shulchan Aruch is imprecise and really one is permitted to start once the Tzibbur began reading the Parsha at [[Shabbat]] [[Mincha]]. Shaar HaTziyun 285:12 notes that the opinion of the Kol Bo is a minority opinion. Kaf HaChaim 285:24 seems to agree. See Sh”t Yaskil Avdi O”C 5:39 and Sh”t Asse Lecha Rav 7:16. </ref>
