Happy Saturday! Kelly and I spent some time today finishing up a product that we have been working on for a while. A How-To-Guide for our Reading Buddies program. Kelly and I have been doing Reading Buddies for years, it's actually one of the reasons we have become so close.
Reading Buddies pairs up a student in my fifth grade class and a student in her second grade class for a year long reading partnership. The students share books together, read to each other, are read to, and participate in many reading activities and celebrations.
The guide can be found at our TPT Store: Reading Buddies How-To-Guide
Our TPT Store Freebie is also part of the guide and can be found here: Reading Buddy Questionnaire
This is the PERFECT time of year to start Reading Buddies. Below are some pictures from THIS Friday when Kelly and I got together to introduce our kids to their buddies.
