Buddy reading is a super example of how learning and wellbeing can grow together in Emo NS. By pairing students from different classes to read together, schools create meaningful opportunities for connection, confidence, and a shared love of learning. These shared moments of learning promote kindness, patience, and mutual respect, contributing to a calm and caring school culture.
For younger students, buddy reading provides encouragement and reassurance. Reading alongside an older peer helps them feel supported, safe, and motivated to try their best. For older students, the role of reading buddy builds leadership, empathy, and a sense of responsibility, strengthening their own confidence and communication skills.
