Description
|
The Great by 8 program is designed to increase and improve
student reading proficiency by age eight. A key component of the
program is driven by community volunteers. Volunteers are asked to
dedicate one hour a week (during school hours) to tutor students in a one-on-one small
group setting, to increase students’ proficiency and mastery of
targeted skill sets. Volunteers will help students with sight words,
letter recognition, sounds, handwriting, and assist with students’
individual needs.
For early intervention to be successful, volunteers are asked to work
with kids on a consistent and frequent basis, be available once a week
for approximately 15–20 minutes, connect with students and develop
trusting relationships, have an approved FHSD volunteer status, and complete the Great by 8 training.
The Great by 8 program
is an exciting volunteer opportunity, allowing people in the Francis
Howell community to use their individual expertise to help students.
Great by
8 will benefit students by building positive self-esteem, improving
academic achievement over time, as well as giving students individual
time with a caring and trusting adult.
