Training the Reading Team: A Guide for Supervisors of a Volunteer Tutoring Program

A companion volume to Lesley Mandel Morrow and Barbara J. Walker's "The Reading Team", this book guides supervisors of a volunteer reading program through each step of a tutor-training program: from publicizing the program, to recognizing the roles of each reading team member, to training volunteers in how to tutor young students effectively. Based on a successful program developed by one of the authors, the book provides easy-to-reproduce overheads and handouts and a script-like explanation of activities to do with tutors in training sessions. The book also contains sample forms and letters to help with implementation and evaluation of the tutoring program.
