Education

• Appropriate for programs which prepare literacy tutors for the “America Reads Challenge” or service learning courses that focus on literacy tutoring.
• This manual guides tutors through assessment, rapport-building techniques, innovative lesson plans, interesting activities, and evaluation tools. It is particularly valuable given President Clinton's “America Reads Challenge”. This national literacy initiative challenges schools, universities and communities to work together to have all children reading independently by third grade with the help of tutors. The “Read to Succeed Program” has produced excellent results by incorporating four philosophical points; it maintains that all children can learn when they:
• 1) are interested in the tasks presented to them
• 2) feel they can be successful
• 3) are given an appropriate amount of support and structure
• 4) receive honest praise.
• Very clear language and directions make it especially easy to use.

• Includes Literacy Planning Guides for levels (K-1), (2-5), and (6-12). Each guide is divided into sections regarding writing, reading books, word study or spelling, and study skills or content area reading to promote balanced instruction.

• Supplies a multitude of engaging activities in the Thematic Instruction Projects (TIP) section to reach a wide range of children in different age groups.

• Provides specific, easy-to-follow directions to assist children with acquiring and/or practicing the skills needed to read and to write. Also includes a math planning guide and techniques for math tutoring.

• Emphasizes beginning reading and writing skills but also devotes some attention to tutoring older children with higher reading levels.

• Includes a description of a children's book drop project, a family literacy program, and a list of recommended books for young children.

• Contains activity sheets, lesson plans, word list forms, and planning guides that may be duplicated.
