Goal
The goal of READER LEADERS is to provide opportunities for students to take on leadership roles and connect with their school community while sharing a love of learning through reading.
What will be done with my students
Our plan is to pair up students from fourth and fifth grade with students in K-2 for morning reading empowerment and mentorship.
Reader Leaders will use a cart to transport their supplies and grade appropriate materials to their buddies during their time in the morning before the regular school day begins. Reader Leaders will be easy to spot on campus with their blue vests so that their little buddies can identify them.
Reading Leaders (4-5th graders) and their Littles (K-2nd graders) will work on whiteboards to practice handwriting, flash cards for sight words and fluency, paper for other printable activities, and BOOKS!
Benefits to my students
This program will allow younger readers to see what being fluent looks like as they have a model demonstrating reading skills. They can also acquire a positive role model within their school. The upper elementary students will be given the opportunity to take on leadership roles, promote good practices, and gain self-esteem.
This will also allow our Leaders and Littles to form bonds to carry them through their time on campus.
Reader Leaders and their buddies will be rewarded for their efforts and hard work on a weekly basis. They will each be given a punch card which will earn them Dragon Dollars (Our school wide reward system). With the money that they earn they will be able to buy items from our Literacy Store.
