【幼儿园与小学3-5年级阅读伙伴活动】 Reading Buddies in CISH Early Years and G3-5

At first some of the students in K1, K2 and K3 were surprised to have bigger students in their classrooms. They soon warmed up and engaged in the stories. Teachers had paired one or two students together to do the reading. Some classes started playing and interacting with each other once they had finished reading their stories. Some students were paired up with a student that has the same native language as them. Students were able to read English, Chinese, Korean and German books to younger learners.

Buddies

When older students read to younger students they learn to observe a peer model and listen to fluent reading. They interact over the content of the book, develop comprehension and understanding and discuss vocabulary. This helps build confidence in the older and younger students. Older students have the opportunity to act as mentors and practice leadership skills.

This was a wonderful enriching activity that we look forward to repeating again this school year.

幼儿园学生和小学生1-5年级之间的协作互动一直都是特别的。周二，CISH学生之间进行一次阅读伙伴的活动。三年级、四年级和五年级的学生去幼儿园读故事，并成为K1–K3学生的“阅读伙伴”。

起初，K1、K2和K3的一些学生对有高年级的学生来到他们教室感到惊讶，但是没过一会儿，他们就活跃起来，并且参与在阅读互动中。老师们给每个幼儿园孩子分配了一到两个小学部学生一起阅读，有些班级在读完故事书后，还一起玩耍和互动交流。一些学生与母语相同的高年级学生配对，学生们能够在互动的同时一起阅读英语、汉语、韩语和德语等书籍。

当高年级学生给低年级学生读书时，他们学会了观察同龄人的阅读模式，认真聆听故事，并且流利地阅读。他们对书上的内容进行沟通交流，提升理解能力，并扩展词汇，这有助于建立学生们的阅读信心，也让高年级学生有机会扮演导师的角色并练习领导技能。
