Do FWS students hired as tutors in a family literacy program need to have training that addresses the special needs of family literacy?
It is strongly recommended that FWS students be well-trained before they tutor. Training should be appropriate for the specific age groups and the needs of those individuals with whom the tutor will be working. For family literacy training, the Department encourages schools to approach existing family literacy programs that have reading specialists or experts working with them who can provide this training. Schools may wish to coordinate training with reading specialists on their own campus.
