Tutoring for Children

Read Together provides free, one-on-one tutoring for elementary-age children (6-14) who are below grade level in reading. At this time, we are offering this service in the greater Bath/Brunswick, and Wiscasset/Boothbay regions. We match children with trained tutors. The tutors meet with the students twice a week for an hour for a minimum of one year. We make sure the children have good, interesting books to read. We also hold fun family and tutoring gatherings periodically throughout the year and offer support to parents through individual conferences with the program director.

Read With Me Family Literacy

Read With Me encompasses our family literacy programming that serves families with children enrolled in Midcoast Maine Community Action Head Start preschool programs, Early Head Start center-based childcare, and the Early Head Start Home Visitor Program. In each instance, we collaborate with the Head Start staff to provide information, experiences, and books to advance the early literacy development of young children within the family environment, so the children will be better prepared to start elementary school ready to succeed.
