BYU Honor Students will select a grade level to read with students and help make reading a fun and engaging experience. Honor Students may read aloud to a small group or class, invite students to take turns reading, or partner with individual students, depending on the classroom teacher’s directions.

As you read, help students engage with the story by asking questions, making predictions, discussing characters, and connecting the story to their own experiences. Most importantly, encourage students, celebrate their efforts, and help them discover the joy of reading!
