BACKGROUND All students referred to HHC by 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd grade teachers at IES Remember where we are starting: 60% of all students began the program reading at a Pre-K level or below We had a 99% success rate in getting HHC students to complete all homework on time 29 community volunteers provided tutoring services

HHC 2012/2013 We need to look at our mix of available HHC slots and apportion them wisely (grades 1 to 3 are critical) Increased Volunteer recruitment will be crucial Have to get additional space from IES Move slowly into 4 th grade Summit with tutoring groups in higher grades to see if collaboration is a possibility
