Teach Reading

Central South CarolinaVolunteer

As a volunteer tutor, you will help an adult learner move from “gibberish” to clarity. Join our locally trained tutor base and give back dignity to your neighbors in the Midlands. Our tutors use a professionalized, structured curriculum. Whether you are working in our Foundational or Journey Kits, you will guide your learner through the science of reading: Sounds → Phonics → Fluency → Vocabulary → Comprehension.
