Read Together
One-on-one tutoring for students, ages 6-14, who are reading below grade level.
Our volunteer tutors help school-age children, both native English speakers and English Language Learners, with reading, writing, and other literacy related subjects.
We help students improve:
- reading
- writing
- handwriting/penmanship
- comprehension
- vocabulary development
- spelling
- math
- learning strategies
- English language comprehension
We also help students improve how they see themselves as learners and readers.
The Sessions
The tutoring sessions are designed by each tutor to specifically address the needs, abilities, learning style, and personal interests of each student. The tutors plan their sessions to include reading stories or books on topics the students like, writing for a variety of purposes, games related to literacy or cognitive development, discussions about student progress, and doing a variety of projects that help strengthen learning and improve self-esteem. Our organization works independently from local schools. Tutors may help their students with schoolwork from time to time, but in general, what the students do in their sessions will be separate from their daily schoolwork.
Tutoring Agreement
Parents and guardians are responsible for signing up their children for Read Together. The parents, students, and volunteer tutors are expected to commit to meeting for tutoring sessions for a minimum of twice a week for an hour for 12 months. The student’s family and tutor can decide to meet more frequently if they wish. They can also decide to continue to work together beyond the 12-month period.
