School or Organization:

  •  Provides supplemental 1:1 reading mentoring instruction to students identified in their M4RA Program’s Entrance Criteria.
  • Creates a name to identify their mentoring program locally such as: “Readers 2 Leaders”, “Reading Warriors”, Department of Youth Services’ “The Reading Zone”, or Bluffton School’s “Pirate-2-Pirate”.
  • Provides mentoring as often as possible. Research supports 30-minute sessions, 3-4 times per week (a student may have as many as 4 different mentors).
  • Pre and post-tests students at their reading level using DRA, STAR, DIBELS, aimsweb®, etc.; or Fluency Passages and submits information in M4RA’s “End of the School Year Report”.
  • Has staff attend 1 Full Day of Reading Mentoring Instruction
