Program Description
Details/Detalles
Become an OG Readers Volunteer Tutor and make a meaningful difference in childhood literacy! This two-part training is based on the Orton-Gillingham Approach, used to teach struggling young readers. This technique employs multisensory learning, phonics based instruction, and other tools to demystify the process of reading.
Once training is complete, volunteers will work one-to-one with students in grades 1-4. Volunteers and their learners will meet at least once a week at the library. You will be matched with a student that can meet based on your schedule. The library will provide all materials and training, as well as offer ongoing support.
Volunteers should:
- Enjoy working with young people and exhibit patience
- Be 16 years or older, and if over 18, complete a background check
- Commit to the training sessions and at least one hour of tutoring per week for 6 months
- Be excited to share a passion for reading!
