Austin, TX - Literacy First - Bilingual Early Literacy Tutor

Since 1994, we have partnered with public, Title I elementary schools and community organizations to offer our high-impact, one-to-one tutoring program to emerging readers in kindergarten, first, and second grade. We use an explicit, research-based curriculum of scripted lesson plans to target critical reading skills through daily literacy lessons. Tutors receive training as well as personalized coaching support to feel confident and supported in their role.

Bilingual tutors work with students whose first language is Spanish and will conduct lessons in Spanish. **95% of training will be conducted in English. While we have some language support and resources, applicants should be proficient in English to navigate training materials, program resources, and technology systems.
