This article describes a reading comprehension program adopted at J. E. Cosgriff Memorial Catholic School in Salt Lake City, Utah. The program is called SHARE: Students Helping Achieve Reading Excellence, and involves seventh and eighth grade students teaching first and second graders reading comprehension strategies learned in middle school literature. The program was undertaken for three reasons: (1) because research supports explicit strategy instruction in all grades; (2) to build community; and (3) to introduce strategies to the primary students while helping the middle schoolers master the concepts by teaching them.
