Reading Buddies

Once a cycle the Kindergartens read with their reading buddies from Mrs Mikkelson's class. The Kinders love reading with their buddies and cheer every time they see it on our daily schedule! 

Our buddies bring books to share with us. The kids find places throughout our room to cozy up and read.

They find some interesting places!

And are engaged with the stories their buddies carefully picked for them.

During reading buddies the Kinders not only build relationships with the big kids but they also learn about book handling, get excited about reading and build stamina when reading text.

They look forward to it all week.
