Reading Buddies
August 15th, 2007 by vjenkins[rockyou 80555585]
We have been helping Stage 1 students with reading. They come to our classroom every morning with their home-reading book to read to their reading buddy. The reading buddies have been trained in how to read books with young children. Before they read, the buddies discuss the pictures and difficult words in the text. The Stage 1 students read the book whilst being encouraged to use picture clues and “sound out” words. The Stage 1 teacher said that her students really enjoy reading to the kids in our class and are learning a lot about reading. We really enjoy helping the little kids improve their reading skills.
