Kindergarten Reading Buddies

We are now "Reading Buddies" with Mrs. Helfrich's kindergarten class! Students have now met and read with their reading buddies twice. During this time, we visit Mrs. Helfrich's room and each child reads one or more books to their kindergarten buddy (in some cases, children read in groups of three). The kindergarten students also read one or more books to their first grade buddy. We started this activity as a whole school last year in an effort to foster excitement about reading and increase fluency, confidence, and motivation. It was extremely successful last year and is going great so far! Ask your child about his/her K reading buddy.
