  1. Buddy Reading Program A project Proposal to the Ministry of Education Presented By: Fakhira Al-Maamary

  2. The Need. • Hoor is eleven years old. She goes to a general education school in her town. When Hoor was in grade one, she hadn’t been taught the alphabet because letters were part of the skills book which the teacher usually neglects. • Now, Hoor is in grade 5. She is staring around the room finding it difficult to manage with the syllabus. She is asked to comprehend paragraphs while she can barely recognize letters.

  3. Buddy Programs • Consist of upper grade students completing activities or projects with younger children. Older students are paired with younger children from their buddy class and the most effective programs have at least two grade levels between students. • What are buddy reading programs?

  4. Big buddy says • "My Little Buddy is so sweet and such a good girl.  I love when I ask her what she has planned for the next day, and she says,"I am going to play."  I can't remember when I last told someone I had a plan to play. I always look forward to spending time with her!" Elizabeth Key, Big Buddy.

  5. Little buddy says • My big buddy is so kind. She teaches me many useful things. She is helping me a lot with reading.
