reading buddy

Shared book companion

A reading buddy is a partner assigned to read with someone, typically in educational settings where stronger readers are paired with those developing literacy skills.

The term emphasizes companionship over instruction: My daughter's reading buddy is a fifth-grader who visits her classroom twice a week.

Adults may also serve as reading buddies for children or for other adults learning to read.
