Morning Reading Buddies are meeting from 7:45-8:00 am every morning. This opportunity is open to ALL students that wish to participate.
The students come into the library (sometimes after picking up breakfast in the gym) and are paired up with a reading buddy (a leader/able reader & a younger/striving reader) and they get to choose a book they want to read together. It goes quickly and only gives the students about 10-15 minutes to read, however, the benefits of participating go well beyond this. It gives students a chance to start their day off positively, entering an environment where they are warmly welcomed, become known, and are celebrated as they develop their reading confidence as well as form strong relationships with students from all grades. More 3rd-5th grade readers that can read to the younger striving readers are always needed, and this year they will be on the lookout for those that show they have some leadership qualities that can be nurtured into a more leading role in the Morning Reading Buddies community. If your child is interested in joining, have them show up any day and they will be welcomed in.
