Teaching Reading By Christine

One other thing you can try with varied reading levels/grades, is reading buddies. My students loved this. At first they didn't but they learned to. You can group them several ways, but one thing I like to do at least once a week is group like the top reader, with the middle reader. Then the 2nd best reader with the 2nd below the middle reader, etc... What I have them do, is the better reader in each pair reads a story/text first, then the lower reader will read with the better one helping.
