Just typing the term Reading Buddies brings a smile to my face.

When I was teaching kindergarten and first grade, my students always had Reading Buddies (older students from a partner class). The older buddies usually came weekly to read with my students and do a fun activity.

You can find this resource HERE!

This product is NOW AVAILABLE in a Read and Write Bundle
offering a SAVINGS of 12%.

In this three page Beach Read and Write pack, students will read the one page beach story and color the pictures. Then there are two pages with five sentences on each page about the story. Each sentence has a missing word. At the end of each sentence, there are two words for students to choose from to find the correct missing word to tell about the story. Students will circle the word that correctly completes the sentence matching the story on the first page, and then write the correct word in the blank.
This is a great reading and comprehension check for guided reading, a mini lesson, a literacy center, or homework.
