Assisting Tutors with the Content of Instruction Topic chosen as a result of survey completed by Tutor Coordinators Specific questions? Identifying needs of learners – Assessment Strategies and Reading Profiles: Tutor support

Encouraging Reading Practice Ensure that your learner understands the importance of reading practice through frequent discussions. Help your learner figure out a time and a place to practice. Help your student identify and access reading material at the independent level. Remind your student to use fix up strategies when encountering difficult words or when comprehension breaks down.

Helping People Learn to Read Provide models, allow learners to see others read or have others read to them. Have a purpose for reading and learning. Reinforce the learner’s confidence in his or her ability to learn. Have access to interesting, stimulating reading materials. Provide support and encouragement as well as reinforcement from others. Teach reading skills.

Techniques for Teaching Reading to Low Level Adult Readers - Activity The goal is to create a lesson to use with the learner whom you tutor. As you develop your lesson keep the following things in mind: On what component(s) of reading do you want to focus? – decoding – fluency – vocabulary – comprehension What SMART goal does the learner have that is connected to the purpose of this lesson? What is/are the measurable objective(s) for your lesson? – At the end of this session, the learner will be able to … What strategy or strategies will you use to teach the skill? What materials will you use to present this lesson? How will you directly teach the skill(s) and present it/them in a variety of manners? How will you provide direct, intensive instruction that actively engages the learner? Have you included guided practice in the lesson? Have you included independent practice? Have you allowed for multiple opportunities for the learner to practice the skill? How will you present the task in parts and then put it back together? How will you demonstrate to the learner that this is an important skill to learn? Have you allowed for reflection time at the end of the session to discuss the effectiveness of the lesson?

Helping People Learn to Write Provide models, allow learners to see others write. Have a purpose for writing. Reinforce the learner’s confidence in his or her ability to learn. Use many examples of writing, show different kinds of writing used for different purposes. Provide support and encouragement as well as reinforcement from others. Teach writing skills.

Helping People Learn to Write Those with good verbal communication skills may be frustrated with their writing abilities because they are not able to write at the same level at which they can talk. Writing is an expressive language which requires recall, unlike reading which is a receptive language, requiring recognition. Writing is a more difficult task than reading so weak readers usually avoid writing. Students with weak spelling skills may have difficulty choosing a topic to write about because they look for something with words that they can spell.
