Reading Assist Fellows serve in elementary schools across Delaware, providing one-on-one reading instruction to students in kindergarten through third grade who face significant reading challenges. Fellows teach foundational reading skills to students who might never learn to read through traditional classroom education.
Fellows work with up to 8 students for 30-45 minutes each day and meet with an experienced coach every week for support and feedback.
Fellows begin with five weeks of full-time, graduate-level training and then are embedded into high-needs elementary schools in Delaware. Fellows transform the lives of students who may have with have dyslexia or other reading disorders.
The Reading Assist service year only requires 1200 hours, leaving ample time for part-time work to supplement living allowance.
