Everyone A Reader Volunteers
We still need 10 - 15 Volunteers for this Program!
Sunset View’s Everyone A Reader (EAR) program is starting again this year, and we are in need of approximately 20 parent volunteers. This is a rewarding volunteer opportunity to become a trained reading tutor in a program designed by the San Diego County Office of Education. You will read one-on-one with four students in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade to improve their reading skills with proven strategies to reach a higher reading level. It is a one-hour weekly reading commitment at a fixed time, followed by about 5-10 minutes of paperwork/record keeping. You will be reading with the same students (teacher selected) each week, building a relationship and helping them improve their reading skills, fluency and confidence. Please contact Colleen Smiley, email colleenclardy@gmail.com
There will be a one-hour training session in late September/early October in the library. The EAR program runs from October through May. If you are unable to volunteer on a weekly basis but are still interested in helping with Everyone A Reader, please contact Colleen.
