Your service year starts September 1st with one month of full-time training alongside the other AmeriCorps tutors in your cohort. We dive deep into training you on how to build great relationships with students and teachers and become an effective tutor. In early September, you will be placed in a Philadelphia elementary school until the end of May. You’ll tutor students for 30 minutes a day, Monday through Friday, supporting a caseload of up to 22 students (11 groups) who need a reading tutor. Every week, you’ll meet with your literacy coach to get feedback and support. Throughout the year, you’ll have opportunities to collaborate with staff at your school and connect with the Joyful Readers tutors and staff serving around the city. The Joyful Readers team is there to make sure that your service year is successful and effective. We’re here to support you as you help students learn to read!
