McDowell Elementary School has “Reading
Buddies!”
Here's the best-kept secret about the
school’s reading buddy program: Older readers who come to read to a younger
readers typically end up gaining as much or more as their "little reading
buddy" does.
Mrs. Vanderworp's third-grade class
has gained self-confidence, reading skills, academic growth and a new desire to
read more by serving as role models by reading to Ms. Bochenek's kindergarten
class.
There are always lots of giggles on
"Read to a Buddy" day, as well as some new exciting friendships.
Remember: "'Tis the good reader
that makes the good book," as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said.
