This hands-on guide covers tutoring students in grades 6 to twelve and addresses the questions most often asked by new (or even seasoned) volunteers about getting started, conducting tutoring sessions and following up with students and sessions. Topics include the literacy process and its contexts amongst adolescents, the role of the tutor, assessing strengths and weaknesses, planning sessions, selecting materials, and conducting sessions on word study, fluency, comprehension and writing. It also touches upon common problems and gives resources for further study about literacy tutoring and concepts.
