Fog Readers: Volunteer Tutors

Are you age 15 and up and looking for a volunteer opportunity? FOG Readers is a 1:1 tutoring program for children enrolled in grades 1-4 who are working on fundamental reading skills. Volunteers attend at least 7 hours of FOG Readers training, where they will learn about the program, how to build reading skills starting from letter-sound relationships, how to decode words, how to break down words into parts, and learn how parts of words can provide clues about meaning. Tutors are matched with one individual student, and are asked to meet with their students weekly for 30-min to 1-hour sessions.  In addition to the instructional time, on average tutors spent 30-60 minutes preparing for each session. 

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
