Synopsis

• 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.
