Recruiting and Training Volunteer Tutors of Emergent and Beginning Readers

This kit focuses on helping children who lack the literacy skills to be successful students. It describes effective tutoring programs, suggests ways to recruit effective tutors, presents a model for tutor training, and provides 15 activities tutors can use with students. The 64-page manual explains how children learn to read, then helps tutors distinguish among emergent, beginning, and functional readers. Colorful activity cards guide tutors through reading, comprehension, word study, and writing activities. A trainer's video, The Reading Tutor's Helper demonstrates the activities in two 45-minute sessions.Diss, Ronald E. is the author of 'Recruiting and Training Volunteer Tutors of Emergent and Beginning Readers' with ISBN 9781891677199 and ISBN 1891677195.
