Better Known as PALS

                                                                Teaching Young Children

                          Topic: Teaching Young Children To Help In Teaching Each Other (PALS) 

Objective 1: Break Children into two groups. I like to call them, the Nifty Foxes and the Eager Beavers. According to the PALS, the two groups are called the Coach and the Reader.

Objective 2: The teacher then teaches the Nifty Reader on how to coach the reader by supplying various games and approaches to make it helpful to the reader to better understand the joy of reading and learning.

Objective 3: As the Eager Beavers are learning so are the Nifty foxes. There is a great learning experience that stems from the peer to peer interaction. The thrill of learning how to read and the boost of self-esteem that is placed in the  Nifty Fox as they know they have helped their friend learn how to read.
