Dear Families,
One of our Tools of the Mind (that's our pre-k curriculum) activities here at school is Buddy Reading. Kids each choose a book, are paired with a partner, and are given a little card with either an ear or lips on it. The lips "reads" her or his book first, while the ear listens. They switch cards and switch roles after. The kids are practicing those all important pre-reading skills, how to handle a book and pretend read, how to converse with a peer and engage in positive social interaction, how to take turns independently, and strengthening oral language skills and building vocabulary. Here is what it looked like today! (oops - I see I've left several students out of this slideshow - will make up for it later!)
More buddy reading ...
