How One-on-One Tutoring Boosts Literacy, Academic Success, and Confidence!
Succeeding by Reading is like a secret weapon, helping students build a solid foundation in literacy and setting them up for future academic success.
National Reading Month is here—which is kicked off with Read Across America Week—and we’re diving headfirst into a celebration of all things literary! Let’s take a moment to consider how programs like Children Rising’s Succeeding by Reading are uplifting kids in Oakland’s community schools!
Succeeding by Reading is like a secret weapon for tackling literacy challenges! Our one-on-one literacy tutoring program applies the science of reading to enhance elementary literacy, pairing eager students with caring, trained volunteer tutors. Grounded in evidence-based practices, this approach recognizes the importance of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension in developing strong reading skills. By incorporating these elements into their tutoring sessions, volunteers help students build a solid foundation in literacy, setting them up for future academic success.

It may sound like a lot, but these tutors make sure every kiddo gets the personalized attention they need to become reading rock stars. But here’s the best part – it’s not just about hitting those reading goals. It’s about building confidence and enjoying reading, too. Imagine seeing a kid’s face light up when they realize they can conquer those tricky words or dive into a new story without fear. That’s the magic of Succeeding by Reading – it’s like giving them wings to soar through the pages of any book they choose. And that confidence translates into improved success throughout a child’s academic career.
