PYP Buddy Reading Program

Today is #InternationalDayofEducation. Education is the most powerful weapon and the ultimate key to knowledge. In these challenging times, YIS is ready to build a sustainable future for children with our interesting learning activities.

Our Primary students are enjoying the Buddy Reading activity. Buddy Reading is a reading activity where they read the same book with friends at the same time. This allows children and their buddies to exchange thoughts on the book, enriching the reading experience for them to increase the reading proficiency of primary students. It is suggested that students are paired with reading buddies from different class levels. This will offer students the opportunities to practice fluent reading behaviors in a meaningful context. The Reading Buddies activity promotes a higher interest and engagement in reading, improvement in social and communication skills (particularly for students learning English as a second language) and, most importantly, it’s FUN!
