6. Reading and Writing with Children and Youth (2007)
A Frontier College tutor's guide
Authors: Sandra Huehn
Collection: Learning Materials
Frontier College has developed this guide to help tutors who work with children and youth on homework and/or reading support. This guide contains various techniques and ideas that tutors can use to help their students strengthen reading skills as well as learning strategies that will motivate students to learn. It does not provide a set of prescribed lessons for tutors.
The guide contains three sections as well as a conclusion and references. The first section, "Getting started", will help tutors decide where to begin and how to keep their tutoring on track. It discusses the importance of building a relationship with students. The tutoring techniques in the second section, "Learning to read," will help a beginning reader learn how to read. The third section, "Reading to learn," focuses on how to tutor a child or youth who can read fairly well but who struggles to understand, or to think critically about, what he or she reads.

7. Ready, Set, KNOW (2003)
A Handbook for New Tutors
Authors: Halifax Community Learning Network
Collection: Learning Materials
Many new tutors who volunteer with literacy networks feel nervous, scared or anxious and frequently wonder what they have gotten themselves into. This handbook tries to bridge the gap between a new tutor joining a literacy program and beginning his or her tutor training program. The author's intent is to show the new tutor as realistically as possible what it will be like when he or she starts turtoring, what will be expected of the tutor, as well as what the tutor can expect from the learner and the program coordinator.
This handbook includes information about
- Getting started with your learner
- Building a successful tutor-learner relationship
- Helping your learner set realistic goals
- Planning lessons and assessing your learner’s progress.
- Finding resources to use with your learner
