125. 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.

130. The Sea & Me Manual (1998)
Authors: Rhonda Tufts-Blades, Lisette Jones
Collection: Learning Materials
A large collection of stories with accompanying exercises for use with tutoring adult learners.
The need for this manual was first identified by members of the Shelburne County Learning Network, located in Shelburne County, on Nova Scotia's South Shore. Most of the Network's members work as volunteer tutors within their communities. Through their work they have come to recognize the need for learning materials that would be of interest to people who live and work in rural areas like Shelburne County. Although the resources available to tutors and their learners are multiplying each year, there still seems to be shortage of materials written with a rural tone.
The Shelburne County Learning Network hopes to eliminate this shortage by offering the following stories, poems, exercises, and activities that have as their subject matter events and concerns of interest to people who live in small coastal communities in Nova Scotia and beyond. The exercises contained in the manual focus on reading, writing, grammar, and math, and they have been adapted for Levels 1 and 2 of the Nova Scotia Academic Upgrading Curriculum Levels.
