QUICK TIPS FOR MENTORS WHO ARE HELPING ELEMENTARY CHILDREN LEARN TO READ:
1. Ask the teacher or school librarian to suggest age appropriate reading materials.
2. Know your student and select content that connects to his or her interests and experiences.
3. Preview the reading material and anticipate open-ended questions you can ask to spark discussion.
4. Depending on the age of the student, alternate reading the story aloud to each other.
5. When it’s your turn, read with expression and don’t rush. Pause for expression and allow time for questions.
6. If a section seems hard for a student, help them with difficult words and give them positive feedback.
7. Encourage your student. Praise success!
