Holly Springs Primary School has a new club – The Buddy Reading Club, sponsored by librarian Jeannie Brock.
The Buddy Reading Program, which launched on Wednesday, Sept. 2, promotes a peer reading experience with third graders paired with first and second graders. It brings students together to share the joy of reading while building confidence, fluency, leadership, and a love for books.
Students are paired with a reading buddy for special one-on-one reading time where they can read together, practice skills, encourage one another, and celebrate their progress.
“The goal of this club is for our Buddy Readers to learn that everyone has something to give and something to learn,” Brock said. “Older students have an opportunity to develop leadership, responsibility, patience, and mentoring skills, while younger students receive additional reading practice, encouragement, and positive peer support.”
The Buddy Reading Club will help create a school community where students learn to support one another, grow together, and discover that reading is even better with a friend.
