Reading Buddies

I absolutely love this idea of using 'Reading Buddies' with kindergarten children.  'Reading Buddies' are decoding and comprehension strategies used during reading workshop (small group & whole group) time.  The posters that you will find below are hung above my small group table to help kinder kids recall these strategies when they are stuck on a word.  My goal now is to purchase these adorable 'beanie baby' animals to use during reading time with my students! 


Below is a smaller version of my 'Reading Buddies'
to use in our book bags...could insert as a full size sheet
or cut apart and staple into a book :)
