Team Read’s one-on-one tutoring runs from
October through mid May at select Kennewick
elementary schools. All volunteers are paired with
first-, second– or third-graders who are
specifically selected by their teachers. Students
with behavior problems are not eligible for the
program.
Tutoring a child does not require much time.
Community volunteers sign on for a school term and
meet for 30 minutes twice a week with each child
they tutor.
Tutors who are unable to volunteer on a regular
basis — but who could substitute — are important
and encouraged to call and sign up. Bilingual tutors
are also needed.
Successful tutors range from age 17 to 75 — or
more. Teens take part in Team Read through a
high school class, which helps them explore a
career in teaching.
At a brief training session in the fall, volunteers
will receive a tutor’s kit and all the information
they need to be effective tutors. Follow-up
training is presented in newsletters and at
luncheons.
