Remote Volunteer Reading Tutors For K-5 APS Schools
How it works…
- We have funding to expand the SpelReads program to three additional APS schools
Schools will receive a schoolwide BookNook license and access to 30 remote volunteer tutors recruited by Spelman College - Students working with volunteers will receive 2 sessions per week of one-on-one tutoring from Feb-April
- Tutoring can take place while students are at school or at home, but students will need a device and internet access
Expectations of Participating Schools…
- Commit to enrolling 30 students in regular weekly tutoring
- Provide family communication support to get permission for participation & scheduling for any at-home tutoring completed by January 25
- Identify a primary point of contact who will interface with BookNook/Spelman on program implementation
- Provide a staff member (teacher or para) who BookNook/Spelman will train to supervise the Zoom room during tutoring hours
Our Partners say…
“It’s hard to believe it’s a pilot program. It’s so well put together and the professionalism of the teachers are astounding! I love the convenience of online tutoring. My son has learned so much and gained so much confidence in reading since BookNook started. He’s enjoying the program and so am I.”
– BookNook Parent
“BookNook was the perfect solution at the right time! We scrambled to plan for remote learning, and small group instruction was on a back burner.
We used BookNook in our summer program and can’t wait for everyone to dive in this fall—regardless of our model.”
– Groton Dunstable School District
