What is Reading Buddies?
Reading Buddies pairs older and younger students, creating unique opportunities for shared reading experiences. Here’s how it works: ??Older students become “reading mentors” to guide and encourage younger buddies. ??Younger students benefit from the expertise and mentorship of their older buddies.
? Everyone enjoys the magic of storytelling and learning together.
