Chech out this email I recieved from Mr Mackenzie and all the students in Room 13- You guys are really helping to make a difference with our Buddy class .What great role models and mentors.
Hi Mr Munslow and the students of Room 5,
After a great discussion with all our class (not just the children involved), we would love to say how much we really enjoy having you as our buddy class. The difference that your students have made to our students in buddy reading has been amazing. So amazing in fact that some of those children have grown in confidence so much that they no longer need the extra help. So a massive big thank you to all the buddy readers you have truly made a difference in those children’s’ reading skills. Not that we wish to stop this wonderful reading just that we only have 3 children needing help now not 6!!
We love sharing buddy time and just wanted to say thanks for all your continued help and fun times.
Here are some quotes
Sophia said “It was cool when my buddy used her thumb to help me sound out words I didn’t know”
Sophie said “ my buddy told me to miss out the word and read until the end of the line and then I might get it”
Flynn said “ my buddy covered bits of the start of the word then when I got that they covered the end and helped me sound out the whole word”
Jin said “mostly my buddy helped me figure out the words but I was able to figure them mostly out myself”
Liam said “ my buddy asked me questions about the story”
Well guys Thanks a heap and see you soon.
Mr Mackenzie and all of room 13 students.
