Joyful Readers
 
 
 
Joyful Readers tutors provide small group reading tutoring to students in kindergarten through 3rd grade. Our AmeriCorps tutors meet with 2 students at a time, making sure they can provide the attention students need to get caught up on critical reading skills. Your service year starts August 29 with one month of full-time training alongside the other AmeriCorps tutors in your cohort. We dive deep into training you on how to build great relationships with students and teachers and become an effective tutor. In late September, you will be placed in a Philadelphia elementary school until the end of May. You’ll provide half-hour sessions of reading intervention to 10-11 pairs of students daily, 5 days per week. Every week, you’ll meet with your literacy coach to get feedback and support. Throughout the year, you’ll have opportunities to collaborate with staff at your school and connect with the Joyful Readers tutors and staff serving around the city. The Joyful Readers team is there to make sure that your service year is successful and effective. We’re here to support you as you help students learn to read!
