The Augustine Literacy Project® of the Triangle trains and supports volunteer tutors who provide free, one-to-one instruction in reading, writing and spelling to low-income children in our area: Durham, Orange, Wake, and Chatham counties. Our programs are based on the Orton-Gillingham approach: multisensory, direct, explicit, structured, and sequential phonics instruction.

NEW! Early Intervention Program Training:

• One-day training, plus a one-hour review session before tutoring begins

• Tutor a kindergartner or first grader

• Materials developed by the ALP-T and other sources, clear instructions

• Minimal lesson planning required

• Assessments that test for what we teach and are easy to administer

• Lessons are 35-40 minutes, twice a week

• Complete the curriculum in approximately 50 lessons

• Experience teaching a nonreader to read and spell for the first time

• After completion, option to start over with a new K-1 student

• Focus on phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, handwriting, listening comprehension, beginning decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling)

• Ongoing support provided as needed

• Training fee: $50
