Reading Buddy Relationships Continue to Grow

As the year progresses, our relationships with our 5th grade reading buddies do too.  Students from both rooms love to share their books, their predictions and connections to what they read.  We are building a community of readers by providing the students with opportunities to talk about what they read.  What did they like, not like, what do they recommend and why.  Our class has been introduced to many new types of books through this relationship: biographies, comics, history, autobiographies, and many others.  We love having these 5th graders as buddies to share in the learning experience at Westwoods.
