Description:
In organizing a buddy reading program at Alice Birney Elementary, John K Smith developed and implemented a detailed cross-age reading curriculum. By teaching tutors methods of reading instruction, with an overarching emphasis on service learning, there prove to be many outstanding rewards for the tutees, tutors, and school community. This lesson is based not only in the philosophical reasons and ideas of how to structure a buddy reading program, but also has a detailed weekly overview and step-by-step reading lessons that tutors can perform with their tutees.
