Reading Buddies

On any given day, you can see fourth grade students sharing their love of reading with kindergarten students. This program, called Reading Buddies, is one of the favorite activities for both fourth grade students and kindergarteners alike. Each fourth grade student is “buddied” up with a kindergarten student, and will share a story or two during the 30 minute time block each week. The kindergarteners will also take turns reading their books to the fourth graders. Throughout the school year, the Reading Buddies will get together for special events and activities. The relationships that are built during this time between these older and younger students are truly a gift from God!
