Information about Tutoring:
You would meet the participant once a week for about an hour to work on Literacy Skills.
The GiGi’s Playhouse 1:1 Literacy Tutoring Program uses a methodology with documented success based on research by professionals in the field. The ability to read opens doors for individuals with Down syndrome in the workplace, schools and the community. Developing reading skills also leads to improvements in speech and language development, auditory perceptual skills and working memory function. Our goal is to foster a love for reading and provide an opportunity to develop and master skills, all while building a positive relationship with our volunteer tutors. Trained tutors work at the level of the child, continually challenging and encouraging him/her to reach their Best of All. Students can start in our program as early as age 3 or any year after that. It’s never too late to start! Weekly lessons last 45-60 minutes for 12 weeks at a time. Family members attend each tutoring session and leave with practical activities to continue the learning at home.
