  • Description

    Elementary school students struggling with reading or math are individually partnered with a high school or university student volunteer. Assigned volunteers trained in fundamentals of reading and math (mentors) and students (buddies) meet multiple times per week either in person or online via Zoom. Designated volunteer coordinators are present at all sessions to assist in mentoring our mentors and buddies. A certified teacher and/or program supervisor is available during every session to help with instruction. 


    We follow a reading curriculum incorporating phonemic awareness, phonics, sight words, fluency and comprehension. Our math curriculum focuses on math numeracy, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.

     
    If participating in the online program, a free Zoom account can be made here: https://zoom.us/freesignup/.
