Tutors are carefully selected middle and high school students who are trained to tutor younger children in a research-based reading curriculum. In programs that are at K-8 schools, the tutors and students often attend the same school. At other sites, the tutors are students who attend high schools in the community.

READ tutors are responsible for the following:

To actively participate in the entire READ Training Workshop (2.5 hours)
To follow READ Program Guidelines in the proper implementation of the RALP curriculum as detailed in the training workshop
To arrive on-time to all scheduled tutoring sessions
To maintain student confidentiality
To ask Lead Teacher for help in situations of uncertainty
To respond appropriately to Lead Teacher feedback and immediately implement suggestions
To accurately record student progress daily
To provide students with positive reinforcement for good behavior
To demonstrate patience and understanding with students
To maintain excellent academic and behavior standing
To be a positive role model for students
