Reading Partners!

This past week, we added reading partners to our reading workshop fun! During our reading workshop, we do a short mini lesson, read independently, and now we meet with reading buddies! Reading partners are so much fun! We practiced lots of different ways to read with a buddy! We practiced to choral reading, echo reading, and taking turns reading! Reading partners share notices about books, help each other out with tricky words, and discuss the books that they read! Here are some pictures of my friends reading with their buddies!
