Oracle’s Mountain Vista Elementary School has just joined the reading tutor program coordinated by AchievePinal.org.
As you may be aware, Pinal County students have fallen behind in reading proficiency—partly due to the pandemic. The good news is that there is definitely a light at the end of this tunnel. The better news is that you can be a part of it by becoming a reading tutor. Seize this opportunity now to lift up our own community in a very meaningful way. These students really need your help.
In this round, SaddleBrooke residents are being sought to tutor 2nd graders on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3 to 4 p.m. Tutoring sessions are conducted for 30 minutes twice a week following AARP’s national program that uses A-Z readers to advance each student at their own pace.
Not to worry, subs are available to work out gaps in your schedule. Or you can offer to be a sub for other tutors. We’ll carpool from SaddleBrooke. This phase of the program is slated to wrap up in April.
Online tutor training takes about seven hours. Contact donnamariethompson1000@gmail.com to get started. You’ll be glad you did!
