Woodring Reading Tutors

Information for Schools

Do You Want Reading Tutors?

• Woodring College of Education at WWU has several students with work study awards who are seeking Reading Tutor opportunities in elementary classrooms.
• Reading Tutors are WWU students who have work study funding as part of their financial aid awards.
• Tutors will perform duties related to developing literacy skills. For example, Tutors can read to groups of students, one-on-one, or listen as students read back to them.
• Reading Tutors can also help with writing assignments tied to reading projects.
• Please note that Reading Tutors are not eligible to perform general teacher assistant or administrative duties.
• Teachers decide if and when they want a tutor scheduled for their classroom. We do ask that teachers provide a stable and consistent weekly work schedule for the tutors. A steady weekly schedule will help tutors organize their time commitments.

If you would like to have WWU work study students in your classroom for the 2009-2010 school year, please contact Kevin O’Toole with the following information:

• Tentative availability for reading tutors. You can negotiate the actual work schedule with the tutor; however, your tentative schedule will serve as a starting point to find students with schedules that match your needs.
• Preferred method of contact (Email, phone, etc.)
• Your school
• Your grade level
• Number of WWU students needed
