Description
Each Literacy Lab tutor serves full-time for 11 months in a high-need school, implementing evidence-based literacy interventions with students who are struggling to read.
Our K-3 tutors serve full-time at one school for the entire year, working with students from different classrooms. Our tutors use 10 structured, scripted early literacy interventions that compliment what’s already being taught in the classroom. Tutors work with their caseloads of 15-18 students every day, providing the opportunity to build deep, meaningful relationships.
