Reading Helpers provides a complete strategy for designing and carrying out the training of reading tutors. The handbook should be used with its companion volume, On the Road to Reading: A Guide for Community Partners. Many of the key ideas and practices presented in Reading Helpers are discussed in greater depth in On the Road to Reading. Each training session references relevant sections in On the Road to Reading that should be reviewed.
