Each LifeRead volunteer tutor brings with them their own experience, knowledge, ingenuity, and desire to help others. They incorporate practices such as echo reading, paired reading, and duet reading, which have been proven to improve reading comprehension for both children and adults. Students respond well to the prospect of being able to read books and materials of interest to them. In the first, second, and third grades, children learn to read. In the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades and beyond, they read to learn. Visit www.liferead.org to learn more. |
