Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Volunteer tutors can make a tremendous difference in the reading skills and the lives of young children. This comprehensive tutorial manual has been developed from the Book Buddies program of Charlottesville, Virginia, the first large-scale model to mobilize hundreds of community volunteers in an alternative one-on-one intervention for children at risk for reading failure. A complete how-to resource for both trainers and tutors in one accessible volume, the book provides guidelines for setting up a successful tutorial program in the early grades and presents a field-tested lesson format for individualized instruction in reading, writing, and phonics. The authors clearly describe how to conduct a wealth of enjoyable reading activities and exercises with students, illustrating each chapter with real-life examples and lively line drawings. Appendices feature reproducible assessment and lesson planning forms, alphabet cards and charts, recommendations and sources for children's books and other materials, and a helpful glossary.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Book Buddies: A Quality Intervention
The Book Buddies Manual is a user-friendly resource for teachers and tutors of beginning readers. The black-line masters in the back of the text are a great resource when starting your own program. The lesson plans are easy to follow and have a wealth of activities to accompany each lesson. The authors must be SO talented to create such an amazing manual! It is a must-have for all reading teachers!
