Major Activities

Activity 2

(continued) second and third grade teachers refer students to the program who are reading significantly below grade level. During the 2011-12 school year, 328 2nd and 3rd graders received tutoring. Students served are predominately low-income & minority students. Team read's innovative after-school tutoring program helped seattle public school district children who are reading a year or more below grade level to develop their reading skills. After a year of tutoring with their high school tutors, 50% of the students who participated in team read gained 1 > 1.5 reading grade level(s).

Activity 3

(continued) 497 high school students worked as reading tutors in the team read programs to help 2nd and 3rd graders improve their reading skills. The high school tutors benefit by gaining meaningful work and community service experience. The work skills they learn, dependability, communication, teamwork, and commitment, carry over into future jobs. Team read provides many teens with their first work/volunteer experience. The tutors can opt to earn with service learning hours needed to satisfy graduation requirements, hourly pay (minimum wage) or save money for college. Approximately 50% of our tutors' families are low-income and their wages help support them and their families. The tutors can use this experience in team read to build their work and college resumes.
