Buddy Reading

During small group time, we have been doing a variety of reading activities. One of them is buddy reading. Reading with a partner is a great way to improve fluency. Students can also be a peer tutor and help with sounding out words and figuring out the story. In our class we do 3 things when buddy reading:

1. Knee to Knee (or Desk to Desk)
2. Whisper Voice
3. Choose books from the Buddy shelf (both students have the a copy of the same book.)

This can also be done at home, even if you share one book.
