Support a child in learning to read!

Read to Succeed volunteer reading tutors teach K-4 students to read using phonological awareness and phonics curricula that aligns with Asheville City and Buncombe County Schools instruction.

Tutors attend 6+ hours of training and work one-to-one or in small groups with K-4th grade students throughout the school year (during and after school). *We ask that tutors meet 2x/week with their students for the highest impact.

Ongoing Support

Our volunteers are the heart of our program. We provide ongoing resources, training, and literacy coaching to ensure that every tutor has what they need to effectively support their student's growth.

Each tutor is periodically observed and evaluated to assure that teaching techniques remain true to the R2S curriculum and standards. 

Monthly "Tutor Huddles" provide additional training, coaching, and the opportunity for tutors to connect and share ideas.

What it takes to be a reading tutor with Read to Succeed

Our reading tutors are highly motivated to help others and genuinely enjoy working with young children in an instructional relationship.

Our tutors are prepared.  They come to a tutoring session with a well-organized lesson plan that follows the R2S phonics-based, multi-sensory curriculum.
Our tutors are committed to developing meaningful relationships with their students.

They are dependable, and are available for at least two tutoring sessions each week during the school year.
​
Finally, our tutors are R2S ambassadors in their Asheville City and Buncombe County Schools, communicating positively with students, teachers, and school administrators about the R2S mission and their students' growth.
