This program has 2 major goals: help elementary students improve their reading skills, and, provide high school students an opportunity to act as role models for emerging readers. A participating buddy will be paired with an appropriate student mentor from Smithfield High School. This mentor will read to the buddy, talk to them about the story, and also listen to them as they read. This interaction between mentor and buddy will hopefully improve the buddy’s language skills. There will also be other enriching activities between mentor and buddy
