5th grade students in Mrs. Tidwell's class spend time with Reading Buddies!
Reading Buddies are a new introduction to our library - and are so fun! Mrs. Troyer, our Librarian, introduced Reading Buddies as a way for students to have more time practicing reading out loud - increasing confidence, fluency and ability!

Mrs. Fulks works with her small group on reading, fluency and vocabulary. Students read a passage together and talk about the story, noting along the way vocabulary words, identifying hunk and chunks and practicing fluency while reading.
