Help a Child Learn to Read
offers students and reading volunteers a focused, easy to implement educational program to enhance reading fluency. Reading volunteers work with student pairs to improve reading through improved fluency. Reading fluency is the ability to read text quickly, accurately and with expression.
Read2Succeed uses a research-based program called "The Six-Minute
Solution” which quickly builds fluency through interactive, peer-to-peer
repeated readings of high-interest, targeted readability passages. This program
includes effective instructional procedures that guide students to improved
literacy in just six minutes a day and one visit a week from their reading volunteer.
Our goal is to match reading volunteers, one day per week for 30-45
minutes, with students who need assistance in this area. The program assists
classroom instruction and can be used as a reading intervention. The Foundation
provides all the necessary materials for the program. Each student will receive
a folder with their graphs, program reminders, a page protector, a dry erase
marker and mentor/teacher communication sheets. Each student pair will receive
a binder with their reading selections and an easy to use timer.
