TIPS FOR TUTORS
How do you nurture a love for reading in someone who has likely never been able to read a book all the way through?
Here are a few simple tips!
1️⃣ Explore Different Genres
Introduce your adult learners to a variety of genres, such as fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or biographies. Explain what each genre talks about. Give examples. By exposing them to different writing styles, you’ll help them discover their preferences and kindle a love for reading.
2️⃣ Share Favorite Books
Recommend books that also align with their interests or explore subjects they are curious about. Share your favorite reads and encourage them to find and share theirs. This book-sharing experience fosters a sense of connection and excitement about reading.
3️⃣ Make it Fun
Incorporate interactive activities in your tutoring sessions, such as word games, role-playing, or storytelling. Infuse creativity and playfulness to make the learning process enjoyable and engaging. When learning feels like fun, the desire to read grows.
As a volunteer tutor, you can ignite a lifelong passion for reading.
Nurturing a love for books will empower adult learners to embark on a fulfilling reading journey that opens doors to knowledge, imagination, and personal growth.
