Reading Buddies

4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Description

Grades K-5.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays, 4-6pm

Saturdays, 3-5pm


Registration not required. Log in any time during Study Zone Plus hours and request 'Reading Buddies' and your level.

Volunteers help students practice reading out loud. Reading Buddies have access to OverDrive eBooks to share on-screen. The book selection changes every two weeks.  

Reading Buddies can focus on:

  • Pronunciation and pacing as students read
  • Reading and conversation for English language learners
  • Reading comprehension


Reading Buddies work with one or two students at a time. Students are paired by reading level.  Each student can expect 30 minutes with a Reading Buddy but may continue longer if other students are not waiting for a turn.

Study Zone Plus reading levels are: 

Level 1: Readers recognize letter sounds and can sound out shorter words. They may read slowly and sound out most words. Books contain easy words, simple sentences and lots of pictures.

Level 2: Readers can sound out most words with little help. Books contain more text and more complex sentences, but still plenty of pictures.

Level 3: Readers are fluent readers and sound out complex words with little help. They are reading books with more dense text, complex sentences and fewer pictures.
