N2N Deban Brunette Literacy Program
The N2N Deban Brunette Reading Program has been providing Literacy support to local schools for over 15 years. We provide trained volunteers within Hamilton schools to support children in grades 1-4 with improving their literacy skills. Children get one-on-one interaction twice a week, which helps to build their comprehension, fluency, and self-confidence.
Research shows that if a child is not reading at grade level by the end of grade 3, they will struggle with learning throughout their academic career. The Neighbour to Neighbour Deban Brunette Reading Program addresses the need for early literacy intervention.
Goals of the Reading Program
- Improve the reading levels of children in Grades 1-4 who are under-resourced and reading below grade level
- Increase a child’s self-confidence through one-on-one support
- Foster a love of reading, provide positive role models and foster an appreciation of literature
- Develop positive attitudes towards learning and reading
Model of the Program
- Literary assistance provided during the school day at select schools
- Tutors work with 4 students, one-on-one, for 15-30 minutes
- Students are seen 2 times per week by different volunteers
- Tutors are instructed and supervised by professional educators
