Tutoring

Literacy Tutors provide one-on-one reading instruction for students from 1st to 12th grade. You don’t need any prior experience teaching or working with children, just a love of reading and a desire to help a child succeed. We ask for a commitment of one hour per week, Monday-Friday 3-7pm or Saturday 10-2pm. Our tutors are trained in the New Haven Reads model which follows the science of reading. We provide a required one hour training session and a site orientation before your first session. You may also shadow a session, and we offer ongoing, in-depth training 3-4 times each year.

About New Haven Reads

Location:

45 Bristol St, New Haven, CT 06511, US

Mission Statement

Our mission is "to share the joy and power of reading".

Description

New Haven Reads provides an environment where children and adults have access to free books and children have access to tutoring to increase their literacy skills and academic performance.

We function as a community book bank distributing over 100,000 free books annually. Books are donated by individuals or community groups. We take books in good to excellent condition; we especially like children's books! We also pack boxes of books for social service agencies, homeless shelters, nursery schools, and individual schools and classrooms.

New Haven Reads offers free one-on-one after school tutoring to the children of Greater New Haven in grades K-12. We place emphasis on serving the most economically and educationally disadvantaged children and families who otherwise would not have access to these resources. This year over 530 students came in once or twice weekly for tutoring in reading with over 200 children still on the wait list.

We also have SAT prep class, Pre-K and Kindergarten early readiness programs, and workshops.
