Buddy Reading is a fun way to enjoy reading. Today, our 2nd Graders read together with our Kindergartners. Reading to the younger children gave the Grade 2s a real sense of pride as they modeled their good reading skills.
The Kindergartners liked being with the older children and enjoyed listening to the stories that they chose to share.
Our Grade 1 and 5 classes regularly buddy read together. The Grade 5s read to the Grade 1s and vice-versa. Over the year, they have become familiar with one another and this has helped nurture a mutual enjoyment of reading.  Buddy reading helps promote the development of reading skills, builds fluency and the children’s self esteem blossoms as they become more positive about their ability to read.
