After carefully digesting Buddy Reading and having implemented the program for four years, I truly believe that the suggestions and techniques that the authors had to offer helped to develop fluency, intonation, critical thinking, and a love for reading! There are many articles on the benefits of buddy reading and this book offers an excellent guide on how to successfully implement one. There are lessons for the teacher of older buddies as well as lessons for the teacher of the younger buddies. I highly recommend this book!

This is a really powerful and entertaining book about growing up in the Southwestern United states in the late 1800's. The fiction is interwoven with a lot of actual characters from the period, and the result is exciting and ultimately really inspirational. A great read for western fans and also for someone looking for good Christian based fiction.
