STAIR is a one-on-one tutoring program for public school second graders who are reading below grade level. After one training class in STAIR procedures and curriculum, volunteers will go to one of the STAIR tutoring sites in Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines or St. Tammany Parish to work with a student who has been referred to the program by his or her teacher. Each site has an experienced site director to assist volunteers. Sites offer tutoring on weekdays after school, or on Saturday mornings. Volunteers commit to one or two days a week. For the past thirty years STAIR has been an active presence in the community. Join us and help make a difference.

Description
STAIR is a reading tutoring program for at-risk public school second graders reading below grade level who are referred to us by their teachers. STAIR volunteers, after going through an initial training class, tutor the students -- one tutor for each student -- once a week, either after school or on Saturday morning.
Second grade is a critical stage in reading development. If a student is not reading by the end of first grade, then intervention at the second grade level is crucial.
