My smarties need mini flashlights to share with their kindergarten reading buddies to partner read in the dark!
We will use the flashlights and whisper phones throughout the week during our independent reading time. Then, on Fridays we will spend our special ¨dark reading¨ time with our kindergarten buddies.

I will measure this through their formal reading assessment to see if it is a successful project.
