During independent reading time students have agency over who they choose to read with and what they choose to read. Some of them chose to engage in reciting the Eskdale School Pepeha and another group worked together to read a poem and develop actions. The children working together are all at different instructional reading levels and they supported and encouraged each other by reading a line again and by developing actions to support others in their group to remember the lines of text or tricky words within the text. All children were engaged during this time working on reading.
Where to next;
Capitalise on this by discussing with them how they feel during this time and what they like / don't like about buddy reading time. Make explicit all the wonderful skills they are using when they are working together
