Is it the best idea? Why do we have to read? So many questions and worries start to build as the 3rd-grade students find out they'll be reading with students with special needs down the hall. What they soon discover is that reading books together is so much fun. Having a reading partner, playing games, and learning from others become the highlight of their week. Do you have a reading buddy? If not, you could start your own Best Buddies Book Club! It may become your favorite day of the week too.
