READING PARTNERS SACRAMENTO SEEKS TO INSPIRE 鈥楻ESOLUTIONS FOR READING鈥� DURING NATIONAL MENTORING MONTH

200 students are ready to be matched with volunteer tutors

Sacramento, CA —聽January 9, 2018

“I鈥檝e noticed that the two students I tutor gain confidence in the one-to-one setting. 聽Since each student learns differently, working one-to-one allows them to progress at their own speed and not worry about making a mistake. I also notice the longer they are in the program, the more they like it.鈥� –聽Judi Smith, 猫咪AV volunteer tutor at Ethel Phillips Elementary
