NES Book Buddies

Norphlet Elementary School recently created book buddies where upper grade students read books to lower grade students.

NMS Partner Reading

As Norphlet Middle School students works on reading strategies, our 8th grade study hall students engaged other middle school students in partner/peer-assisted reading.

An Accelerated Reader (AR) book was read and then a test was taken on the book with assistance from the 8th grader.

Pairs worked together on a variety of texts, building their reading confidence, increasing concentration, practicing interacting socially in a positive way, and improving their motivation to read.

SPS Parents Read to Students

Preschool director Marta Jinks and parent Alejandra Vega read a story to Ms. Donna’s class in both English and Spanish.
