Summer 2021: Volunteering for Read to Succeed Asheville/Buncombe

Read to Succeed volunteer reading tutors work one-to-one with K-3rd grade students during the school year. Tutoring sessions are on hold for the summer and will resume when the 2021-2022 school year begins.

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 literacy achievement.

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

Monthly volunteer meetings provide additional training and the opportunity for tutors to share ideas. Featured speakers often present new perspectives on literacy and tutoring skills.

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 mentor relationships with their students.

They are dependable, and are available for one to two tutoring sessions each week during the school year.

They are patient.
​
Finally, our tutors are R2S ambassadors in their assigned Asheville City and Buncombe County Schools, communicating positively with teachers and school administrators about the R2S mission and their students' progress.
