Tiqun laQor'im means "Correction for Readers". It is a book written in two
columns, one a replica of a handwritten Torah text without points, te`amim,
verse numbers, etc. In the column alongside, it shows a fully pointed text.
It is used by people who are preparing for a public reading of a Torah text.
