Book Buddies

Reading can be a dreaded task if a student struggles in reading.  To make reading fun can be a difficult task for a teacher.

 What a great idea our teaching friends across the hall had to be Book Buddies!  The little ones in the younger class are excited to bring their books in for the older students to read to them. This gives the older students a chance to practice their reading skills at a lower level and without the pressure of a teacher listening in.  This is a great experience in social and reading skills for both classes.

 Although the students were a little nervous when they first came in, I saw several smiles as our time went along.  Here is A. and L. enjoying  book buddy time.

Thanks Melissa and Chelsea for suggesting Book Buddies!
