Miss Rowley would send some of her Primary 3 children to read with some of the Primary 1s in class and some of the Primary 1s would go and read with some of the Primary 3s in Miss Rowley&#8217;s class.<\/p>\n<p>As I had been advised our reading partners appeared and disappeared, as the case may be, and the children organised themselves into pairs and settled down at a desk or comfy space to read. The Primary 3s had taken a book with them and they shared the book with their Primary 1 buddy. In some pairs, the P3 did all the reading and in other pairs, the P1 joined in and helped out. The books ranged form The Gruffalo to Animals of Africa; fiction and non-fiction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div
