Who is a Literacy Volunteer?

Job Description:  No expertise in reading is necessary.  Anyone with a desire to listen to a child read is welcome.  If that's you or you know of grandparents or retired community members that might be interested, please contact our school office at (408) 535-6297.  We want to continue our reading lab program where volunteers work with a TARGET Student on a 1-1 basis.  Sarah Kateley is our Reading Lab Director, and will oversee the management of this program and be in the lab daily.

Hours:  Ideally,  1 hour 45 minutes, once a week.  That would be 1:15 – 3:00pm on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.  You choose any one of these days.  That means you would help 2 children for 45 minutes each with a 15 minute break in between.  Substitutions can be arranged for occasional vacations and/or illnesses. 

How:  Volunteers will do the same activities everyday using a variety of materials planned by us!

When:  The Reading Lab opens each fall in mid October, and finishes during the middle of May.  Tutoring does not take place during school holidays.

Where:  Our Reading Lab is located in the school's Media Center.

Training:  Individual "on the job" training will be provided.

It's you!
