A new buddy for Tom

Student	Tom	Date	27 May 2008
Topic	Buddy reading	Observer	Paula (teacher aide)

Intended learning

The children will read to a new buddy.

The new entrant teacher encourages children in the class to experience buddy reading with a variety of children.

Buddies are swapped around today and Tom joins up with Teia to read a different book, which he has selected independently from his browsing box. Teia is chosen because he is a good reader and will understand the words Tom is saying, as he can already read them.

Tom knows the routine clearly now when he does buddy reading, so he settles quickly in his favourite chair and gets on with the business of reading. He seems very comfortable with his role and is unfazed by the change of buddy.
