Hope Academy Lincoln Park in Cleveland is holding a program on Friday where fifth-graders read books they've written to second-graders.
The event ends several weeks of studies where fifth and second-graders at the school read to one another.
During classes, fifth-graders were asked to pick a theme second-graders should learn. Themes included respect, honesty and not being judgmental.
Students also picked characters for their stories and also learned how to write for a second-grade audience.
Middle school teacher Brad Adamczyk said the studies encourages unity and students to think about others instead of just themselves.
"Fifth-graders get to reflect on what they've learned since second grade and reflect on their experience," he said.
At the end of the presentation, second-graders will choose their favorite story.
