By purchasing a class set of Diary of a Wimpy Kid #10: Old School, my students will be able to participate in a fun, personal, and effective way to introduce the pleasures of reading a chapter book with a new friend. By donating to our project you will help students improve ESL learner confidence, self-esteem, speaking fluency, vocabulary, and literacy skills, as well as help students foster a love for reading, and develop social skills. This resource will benefit over 60 kids! My 4th graders will be teamed up with the 8th graders at the school in order to buddy read together for the next few months. One of the most challenging issues teachers face with ESL learners is their hesitation and lack of confidence to speak the language and practice it orally. One-on-one reading buddy programs take some the pressure off the students, allowing them to more easily speak out and not be intimidated by their mistakes or limiting vocabulary in front of a larger audience. There's so much research into buddy reading programs that has provided evidence that one-on-one reading has a number of benefits for younger and older students but most importantly, it's just FUN! We need your support to make our dream a reality! Thank you!
