INTERESTED IN BECOMING A READING POWER TUTOR?

To become a tutor, one should have a love of children, the ability to read and write and, hopefully, a sense of humor. Each tutor devotes one-half day per week to tutoring three or four children one on one, filling in a lesson plan sheet for the following day's tutor, and participating in ongoing training. Tutors are encouraged to treat this experience as a job, not as optional volunteer work. They need to attend consistently if the children are to receive quality teaching. (For the occasional absence, a system of trading days with other tutors permits some flexibility in one's schedule.) Training for tutors will be provided by a certified teacher and literacy specialist. Two days of training occur in September, and continuing training occurs each day of a tutor's schedule. Several different program choices are available for morning or afternoon assignments with kindergarteners, first, second or third graders. A background check will be conducted on each tutor. Being a Reading Power tutor is a privilege and a joy. Come share your gifts with these adorable children and enjoy the magic they give back.                     THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
