Buddy Reading

The kids LOVE the grab a book, a buddy, a pillow or stuffed animal, and read with each other. I believe that it's a great way to build strong readers. I love to listen and observe them buddy reading. They mimic my questioning that we use during small group time and it tickles me to see them "act" like the teacher. Little do they know, they really are teaching each other.
