Building Strong Readers

Y-Literacy provides one-on-one tutoring for students in grades K - 5 reading below grade level to strengthen their reading skills and close the literacy gap.

Program Components

The Y-Literacy curriculum is designed to engage students in a 1-on-1 format. Each lesson lasts approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. Students will receive tutoring in correspondence to their individual reading level.

Along with reading, students will practice comprehension, fluency, sight words, vocabulary, and other grade level phonics and grammar skills!

Open to students K-5 across Middle Tennessee

Literacy Centers can distribute books and resources in English and Spanish throughout the year. Please let your director know if your student needs access to books at home to read.
