It now serves over 1,000,000 students in 42 states and the District of Columbia and El Salvador. We are currently working with students in Kindergarten, first, second, and third grades. Students are chosen based on screening scores, teacher recommendations, and student needs. Students practice using a variety of materials and strategies, and they are reassessed and given additional practice or new objectives as needed. Periodic review assures that newly gained skills will be maintained.
Instruction is monitored and designed by the teacher and delivered by a trained volunteer mentor.
Mentor-friendly student lesson plans ensure a successful experience for the mentor and the student.
