Book Buddies

 On Friday Folsom students from kindergarten to eighth grade partnered up to read! Each partnership consisted of a younger and older student. The last time we read together older students read to younger students but this time we switched roles with younger students reading to their older student partners.

We brought our browsing boxes with us. A browsing box is an individual collection of books that each student has read during guided reading groups. Therefore, every book can be read independently, with confidence and fluency, by its owner. It was pretty amazing to watch the youngest students in our school read book after book to the "big kids!" Great job kindergarten!
