Reinventing Approaches to Reading: The Buddy Reading Programme. A Service-Learning Initiative

This article describes the involvement of five high school students in a tutoring project at a local primary school. The program engaged Primary 3 level students (middle school) as tutors to younger children in the Rosyth Primary school. In this tiered program, the high school students became the teachers of the middle school students, who in turn, tutored the elementary school children. In a program labeled S-L2, we learn how one service-learning initiative supported a second program, working to ensure high quality tutoring and mentoring at all levels. (authors)
