Reading Teacher Assistant
Adult Educational Services is in need of several volunteers to assist with the newly implemented STAR Reading Program. STAR (Student Achievement in Reading) is an evidence-based reading program that the US Department of Education and Vocational Services (OVAE) is committed to as a means of improving the reading skills of intermediate adult readers (grade 4.0 – 9.8).
Volunteers will be trained in specific STAR methods to teach alphabetics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension skills. Volunteers will be given the materials and instruction necessary to work one on one or with small groups of students to help implement this innovative program.
The STAR class meets for one hour sessions four afternoons a week (M-Th). Volunteers are welcomed to assist the class for any or all of these sessions plus time for training.

Tutor an Adult Learner
Tutors have the exciting opportunity to work one-on-one with students to provide instruction in basic math, reading or writing. We ask that tutors have an openness to learning from and working with adults from a variety of cultural and educational backgrounds. Reliability, consistency and commitment to learner-centered tutoring are required for a successful student-tutor relationship.
