Program Description: This program serves students
living in a local homeless shelter and a local transitional living
program. The program is divided into two 1 1/2 hour segments. During
the first segment, the children receive one-on-one assistance from
a volunteer tutor. This time consists of completing homework and
receiving tutoring in reading, writing, and mathematics. Students
are often
able to improve two grade levels in reading if they remain in the
program for three months. Participants also demonstrate dramatic
improvement
in writing and math. During the second segment, the children participate
in a group lesson and activity and have guided play time.
