Our reading tutors work one-on-one with students in grades Kindergarten through 5, who attend after-school programs of partner organizations.\u00a0 Tutoring takes place once a week, on a mutually designated day.<\/p>\n During each session, tutors and children choose age- and reading level- appropriate books on topics that spark the individual child\u2019s interest. Reading tutors purchase fiction and non-fiction books for their students, entirely funded by NCJW NY. Tutors work with children not only to sound out words but also to explore a character\u2019s emotions or discuss a story\u2019s meaning. Upon completing a book with their tutors, children take their books home for continued enjoyment, creating their own sizable home library over the course of the year. Tutors build a trusting relationship with their students, magnifying the effects of the work they do together.<\/p>\n Tutor Requirements and Expectations:<\/em><\/p>\n We are currently looking for tutors for the following sites:<\/p>\n
