Reading Buddies One day each week, we will meet with the fourth graders in Mrs. Hull's class for Reading Buddies. Reading Buddies is a fun way for the big kids to help the little ones learn to read, model effective strategies, and, in turn, build self-confidence. Together, they will make book selections and have discussions on shared stories. Buddy Reading helps the child who can’t read as well hear the sounds of words when someone else reads with them. When they learn the sounds of the words better, they will be better able to decode on their own. The big kids will assist by helping with meaning of words, understanding the story, and asking questions while they read. In addition to reading, Mrs. Hull and I are planning learning activities that are Science and Social Studies based. As our standards correlate and spiral, some learning experiences can be mutually beneficial.
