Peer Tutoring

Peer tutoring (aka Book Buddies) started on Nov. 9. Each student in our class is paired up with a 5th grader from Mrs. Simkins' class. Students will have peer tutoring Mon-Thurs for six weeks up until Christmas break on Dec. 18. Students' reading levels will soar! This program is wonderful for improving fluency, expression, and overall ready competency. Students read one-on-one with their tutor for 25 minutes each time. Parents, please remind your student to bring their peer tutoring book back to school each day (even if it's a chapter book). Thanks for reading with your special 2nd grader every night.
