  3. Adventures Ahead Program The Goal To achieve grade-appropriate literacy among children K-6 who are enrolled in the tutoring program; and to nurture each child’s enjoyment and experience of success in their development as lifelong readers. The Program The year is divided into 2 semesters with a month-long summer program. We have 30-40 kids enrolled and 5-6 college-aged intern teachers. The Location We are located in West Adams, South Los Angeles between in the southwest corner of the 10 and 110 freeway.

  7. Example of Semester Lesson Schedule

  8. Example of Daily Schedule • Kindergarteners have short attention spans. It’s best to split class time up into 10 or 5-minute increments. • Tuesdays and Thursdays are Reading Activities, but Wednesdays switch between Art and Computer Activities. • Volunteers are most useful during homework hour of the day.

  9. Reading Skills Pyramid

  10. Example of Attention Getters • Zip lips, lock them and then throw away the key. • Say “Alligator, Alligator. Chomp. Chomp” Have students repeat this with you. As you say, “Chop, Chop” stretch your hands out and clap them together 2x like an alligator’s snout. What do you do?

  11. Teacher Self-Care Chart

  12. Conclusion To you dear intern, This manual is for you as you embark on a journey, That will stretch you beyond what you thought you were capable. Expect growth, expect frustration, expect surprises, and expect your heart to expand with divine love and acceptance for your students.
