WHAT WE DO
Volunteer Tutoring
Love Literacy mobilizes the community to support children’s literacy by recruiting and training community volunteers to provide free one-on-one reading instruction to children in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools who are significantly below grade level in reading. Our tutors go where the need is the greatest.
Individualized Instruction
Love Literacy tutors work with students twice a week for 30 minutes. We assess all students at the beginning and end of the year and monitor student progress throughout the year. Our tutors use a research-based and evidenced-based curriculum that meets students where they are and helps develop critical reading skills – phonemic awareness, reading and spelling skills, and reading fluency.
Tutor Training
Become a volunteer tutor and help a child learn to read. We provide everything that you and your student need to ensure success! Love Literacy tutors complete a 2-day training and receive up to 23 hours of training per year. Love Literacy site coordinators are on-site weekly to observe lessons, monitor student/tutor progress, and provide coaching and support to tutors as necessary. The impact of assuming this role can be profound. Take the next step.
