The five sections of this handbook contain reading tutor training materials, with each section listing behavioral learning objectives specific to a particular instructional situation. The first section defines the role of the tutor, sets forth general principles for successful tutoring, presents examples of interest inventories for elementary and secondary students, and identifies reading readiness skills. The second section briefly describes the language experience approach (LEA) to reading, suggests specific LEA activities, identifies reading skill areas, offers several ways to identify reading level, and suggests using oral and directed reading lessons. The third and fourth sections present specific lesson plans for teaching word recognition and for teaching reading comprehension and study techniques, while the last section focuses on preparing and using instructional aids such as audiovisual materials and learning centers.
