2024-25 Reading Assist Tutor

Reading Assist Fellows serve in elementary schools across Delaware, Chester, PA, and Washington, DC providing reading instruction to students in kindergarten through third grade who face significant reading challenges. Fellows teach foundational reading skills to students who might never learn to read through traditional classroom education. Fellows begin with three weeks of full-time, graduate-level training and then are embedded into high-needs elementary schools. Fellows transform the lives of students who may have with have dyslexia or other reading disorders. Fellows work up to 10 students for 30-45 minutes each day and meet with an experienced coach every week for support and feedback. The Reading Assist Fellowship, an AmeriCorps program, requires 1200 service hours (900 if part-time) to be completed between August 26, 2024, or September 23, 2024, and June 13, 2024. Fellows begin with four weeks of full-time, graduate-level training and then are embedded into high-needs elementary schools in Delaware and in Chester, PA. Fellows transform the lives of students who may have with have dyslexia or other reading disorders. Fellows receive time off for all school holidays and breaks. The Reading Assist service year only requires 1200 hours, leaving ample time for part-time work to supplement living allowance.
