Resource for Reading Tutors
March 22nd, 2008 by admin
If you work with adults or any sort of one-on-one tutoring program, you’ll want to check out this resource: the Litstart book from Michigan Literacy. This is the book that our county has chosen to use as a tutoring handbook for our fledgling tutoring program, because it is so well done. You’ll find dozens of practical strategies and suggestions for working with adult learners who are struggling with reading or writing. There’s also a comprehensive section on working with ESL students.
If your materials are in short supply, I highly recommend this book-there are lots of activity ideas that can be implemented using materials that are on hand or readily available at the library, such as newspapers or magazines. You can get all of the practical tips you need to start working with an adult student, even if you’ve never tutored before.
Please visit Michigan Literacy for more information.
