The Literacy Council of Kingsport is looking for patient and enthusiastic volunteers to serve as children’s reading tutors for our in-school reading program. Volunteers work one-on-one with elementary students in grades K–3 who need extra support in reading.

-Help children build key reading skills using structured materials.

-Encourage and support young readers as they grow and gain confidence.

Time Commitment:

-Sessions are one to one and a half hours, once or twice per week.

-Scheduling is flexible during school hours and coordinated with teachers.

Qualifications:

-No teaching experience is required—just a love for reading and a desire to help children succeed.

-Volunteers must be willing and able to pass a background check. (The Literacy Council covers the cost.)

-Must be at least 21 years old.

Training and Orientation:

Our next Children’s Tutor Training is on Saturday, August 22nd from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Literacy Council Office (247 Broad Street, Suite 300, Kingsport).

You’ll receive:

-A brief overview of the science of reading
