Mary Danna’s sixth-grade students at Willow Road Elementary School read books to Elizabeth Silz’s kindergarteners this month as part of the school’s Reading Buddy program.
The program worked by pairing an older student with a younger child for one-on-one reading time in the Willow Road school library. Both age groups benefited from the program as sixth-graders learned leadership skills and the kindergarteners improved their reading comprehension.
