“Wright to read provides enrichment activities for the students in our tutor/mentor program. In the 2013-14 school year, wright to read hosted 8 enrichment events including our summer picnic, which is a celebration of the work of the students and of the volunteers. Volunteers each write the text for their student's award and wright to read gives awards for years of service to the volunteers. Wright to read took the students on field trips to a local farm to interact with chickens, rabbits, and goats, and to a public park to learn about owls from a naturalist. Enrichment events often reinforce learning or activate interest, and also support the tutor and student relationship. Wright to read provides initial training, opportunities for extended learning, and ongoing support to the volunteer tutors and mentors. In the 2013- 14 school year, wright to read recruited, screened, and trained over 40 new volunteers and offered two workshops to extend volunteer learning. The choosing the right book workshop helped volunteers learn how to help a student choose a book at the right reading level, and included a presentation and tour by a librarian to help volunteers know where to find books of interest to the student. The communicating with families workshop, invited a family engagement specialist from alexandria city public schools to give volunteers guidance on to best communicate with a student's family and gave information to volunteers that they could pass onto families.”
