Tutors are requested to meet during the school day with the children one on one in support of our ELLM (Early Literacy and Learning Model) program for the three- to five-year-olds. The volunteers work with the children to reinforce the literacy concepts learned in the classroom. Each volunteer visits the same child every week from November through mid-April for 20 to 30 minutes per child. Volunteers often choose to have assignments of two to three children each visit. The volunteers read books to the children, and together they engage in a related math, literacy, science, or art activity to further the learning experience.
