My Students

My students love to read. They are eager to become better readers. They enjoy picture books and beginning chapter books.

Buddy reading is one of their favorite activities.

They enjoy reading and discussing the books with their partners. Buddy reading has helped my students build their fluency, accuracy, and comprehension skills.

My Project

The chance to read with a buddy is a great way for students to practice and refine their reading skills. The students will love to have more book choices for buddy reading time. More choices equal more excitement and more reading.

As the students have more opportunities to read, they will become better readers.

Current research shows that it is crucial to have students reading on grade level by third grade. Lots of opportunities to read will help students achieve this milestone. I feel that it is important to provide them with lots of reading materials to choose from to increase their motivation.
