buddy reading
Shared book time
Buddy reading is a literacy practice where two people read together, typically pairing a stronger reader with a developing one.
Often used in elementary schools, an older student reads with a younger child, taking turns or offering help with difficult words.
The approach builds reading skills while fostering connection: The fifth graders do buddy reading with the kindergartners every Friday.
