Reading is the foundation of all learning. You can help third-graders in the West Salem School District master this key skill by sharing your love of reading as a Read to Success tutor.
During the 2023-2024 school year, you will read out loud with one or two students, spending 30-60 minutes with them each week during the school day. To help you and your student feel comfortable and connected, Great Rivers United Way provides a tutoring bin with high quality books and literacy related conversation starter materials to help you focus your time together on reading skills. Materials include question cards such as "what do you think will happen next?" "Why do you think the character made that choice?"
In addition to helping your student improve their reading skills, your positive influence can have benefits that will last a lifetime. Will you help? Click the Respond button to get things started.
The Great Rivers United Way Community Engagement Coordinator will contact you to explain more about the program and initiate the required background check. Thank you for your interest! We appreciate your willingness to help.
