We are participating in buddy reading with two classes this year. We will have kindergarten and preschool reading buddies that we will work with all year. This is a great way for the fourth graders to improve their reading fluency while they act as positive role models for the younger children. For our young buddies we will provide positive experiences in reading and concepts of print. It is a win win situation!
