Book Buddies
By Nathan and Caroline
Every Wednesday we go to our book buddies’ room and read to them. They are four-year-old kindergarteners. We usually help them pick out fun books.
Sometimes they have books for the holidays, like Halloween books, Christmas books, Valentine books, and even Chinese New Year books.
We figured out that they like to read the same books, or books in a series. To make reading interesting for them, we show them cool pictures and ask them questions so they don’t just look at their friends or listen to somebody else read.
We probably read thirty-five different books to them a year. Also we stop them in different parts of the book and ask them what some of words mean. They also love books about animals.
Book buddies is a very fun thing to do. Sometimes we do activate with them, like signing songs. Do you have book buddies? We did when we were little. If you don’t, ask your teacher so you can have them too!
