Reading Buddies
Reading Buddies

Mrs. Cummings, one of our 5th-grade level teachers knows the value of giving students opportunities to lead and take on extra responsibilities. Mrs. Cummings says, "5th graders were given the opportunity to participate in the Reading Buddies program with Pre-K and Kindergarten. Students were paired with a student from that grade and practice reading skills with those students and sometimes do arts and crafts with them. They visit their buddies once every month. So far, students love the opportunity to work with younger graders. This provides a wonderful opportunity for leadership."
