So far we have had 23 tutors participate.
Tutors work in both rural and urban school districts.
After-school sessions are held in a nearby community center. We are able to provide tutoring to over 90 children in kindergarten through third grade. Training is developed in cooperation with schools and includes information on reading aloud, strategies for supporting readers, responding to children's writing, book extension ideas, creating a rapport, and behavior management. Follow-up support is ongoing and includes monthly tutor meetings. Publicity coverage has been strong in both local newspapers and television.
