2019 training schedule

Reading Coach

R2S Reading Coaches undergo comprehensive literacy training. They work one-to-one twice weekly with his/her assigned student. 
​
Here's what one coach says: "The rewards are so much greater than any sacrifice of time on my part. It's vitally important that these kids become proficient readers, and the process has enriched my life."
​Reading Coach Training
Reading Coach training combines classroom sessions with practicums (where trainees work with students twice a week) over a 10 week period.

Our next coach training session will begin in January 2019. View our winter training dates here

​Reading Buddy

A Reading Buddy meets once weekly with his or her student for a full school year. This intervention may be all a student needs to reach grade level proficiency.
​
Our Reading Buddies develop warm and encouraging relationships with their students, who are usually in Kindergarten or first grade.

​Reading Buddy Training
Reading Buddies prepare with 9 hours of training. 

Our next reading buddy training session will begin in January 2019. View our winter training dates here!

Organizational Volunteer
One-to-one literacy tutoring isn't for everyone. Maybe you believe in the R2S mission, but prefer to offer behind-the-scenes help.

We welcome volunteers with specific skill sets to help in critical areas like communications, event planning, office assistance and technology.
