Community Sites
Open to any elementary school child in Fresno. Students who attend community sites are tutored by a volunteer, twice per week. All tutoring is typically one-on-one. There is typically a wait list of two to three months at each community site. Reading And Beyond operates community sites at Hope Lutheran Church, First Covenant Church, Wesley Methodist Church, Einstein Park Neighborhood Center, and our community center on Kings Canyon Blvd.
School Sites
Open to children who attend specific schools. At school sites, students attend for three hours, five days per week, and participate in literacy intervention, homework, and enrichment activities. All literacy tutoring is done in a small group setting by paid staff. Reading And Beyond operates school sites at Balderas, Heaton, Storey, and Wishon Elementary Schools. This program is ASES-funded (After School Education and Safety).
Supplemental Educational Services (S.E.S.)
S.E.S. tutoring is offered during the spring for students in grades K-8, who attend qualified schools. Students are tutored one-on-one or in small groups by staff, two times per week. Reading And Beyond has operated this program in the school districts of Fresno, Madera, Kerman, Visalia, Central, Modesto, Coalinga/Huron, Mendota, Fowler, and West Park.
The goal is for a child who is enrolled in the program, for six months or longer, to improve by at least one grade level in reading and comprehension. To monitor their progress, each child’s reading level is assessed every ten weeks.
