AFTERNOON PROGRAM FOR KINDERGARTEN
1. The kindergarten program takes place Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons from 11:45 to 2:30. 2. See below for the tutoring model.
AFTERNOON PROGRAM FOR SECOND AND THIRD GRADES
 1. The children will be tutored several times a week by several tutors.
2. You will tutor three older children for thirty minutes each, one-to-one, each week; OR you will tutor four kindergarten children for twenty minutes each, one-to-one each week; OR you will tutor a combination of each.
3. The tutoring of older children will consist of listening to them read and helping them to identify words, to comprehend, and to write a response.
4. Kindergarten children will be helped to learn the alphabet letters and to hear the sounds in words; you will read to them and discuss the story.
5. The afternoon program takes place Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons from 12:15 to 2:45.
AFTERNOON PROGRAM FOR FIRST GRADE. MORNING PROGRAM FOR FIRST GRADE
1. Children will be tutored daily by several tutors, giving them intensive one-to-one attention in an effort to accelerate their progress. When a child becomes an average reader and develops a “self-extending system,” tutoring will be discontinued and another child will enter the program. This early intervention is more successful than later remediation.
 2. During the thirty-five minute tutoring sessions, each child will read four little books, write a message, and do some discrete word or letter work. The child will take a book home each night to read to a parent, and the tutor will write a brief, daily note to the parent.
3. This program is modeled after Reading Discovery of Skokie District 73.5 and Reading Recovery. It is an offshoot of Project Prevent developed by National-Louis University.
4. The morning program takes place from 8:30 to 11:30, Monday through Friday. The afternoon program takes place from 11:30 to 2:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons and Monday mornings.
"This partnership allows for change in the trajectory that could set them on a course for failure and allows them instead to become children of promise, able to tap their full academic potential in their school years."
