Harlem Education Tutoring Program; Community District Umbrella Programs, 1975-1976.
Siegelman, Marvin
This report evaluated the Harlem Tutoring Program which was designed to give individual home tutoring in reading and mathematics to elementary school students in New York City. The students were at least two years below grade level in reading and/or mathematics. Forty-three students between the ages of six and thirteen participated in the program. The tutors were mostly college students who met with the students two days per week, for two hours each session. The program attempted to increase the student's reading, mathematics, and self-esteem. In addition, parents of students were assisted with family, housing, employment, and health problems through referrals to agencies. The major emphasis of the program was improvement of basic reading skills, including comprehension and vocabulary. Audio visual aids were used to provide remedial instruction. Pre and post achievement tests, observations, interviews, and conferences were used to evaluate the program. The findings of the report indicated the range of reading grade scores for the total sample was 2.76 to 6.92 months. Accordingly, the range in mathematics grade scores was -.09 to 1.89. (JP)
