  • Volunteers read with their “buddy” at Inman Primary

    Inman Primary is fortunate to have many volunteers and one way those volunteers help is to listen to children read. This helps children improve their reading accuracy, reading fluency, and reading comprehension.

    In my class, each second grade student is paired with a volunteer buddy that comes to listen to that child read for 30 minutes one day each week. The second graders go with their buddies to the media center where they read from their selection of “good fit” books. By pairing with the same child all year, the reading buddies get to know each other.
