In LINC’s Teen Tutoring Reading Partner Program, middle and high school students read weekly with elementary school children, building literacy skills and creating opportunities for community service. Central to the quality of the program is the direct training of the teen tutors. LINC has learned from tutor feedback that training is not engaging enough and activities and materials need to be updated. LINC will improve their training curriculum by including refresher sessions to reinforce literacy-building skills, update the content of the tutoring materials, and create an evaluation that will help tutors regularly track the progress of their work with their tutees.
