New Training Materials: Tutoring and Literacy

Posted by on May 24, 2002

LEARNS is happy to announce six new ready-to-use training activities available on our Web site. The new activities provide great ideas for training literacy tutors on the following topics: Alphabet Recognition, Concepts of Print, Reading Fluency, Matching Sounds, Oral Language Development, and Rhyme Time. Check them out at: http://www.nwrel.org/learns/trainingopps/training/index.html

Many of the new activities support the skills discussed in the Winter 2002 Tutor newsletter, Tutoring Our Youngest Readers: Focusing on five major reading strategies. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s available online at: http://www.nwrel.org/learns.

LEARNS is a partnership of the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory and the Bank Street College of Education. We provide training and technical assistance to Corporation for National and Community Service and Federal Work Study projects focused on literacy and education.
