PROJECT M.O.R.E. READING-TUTORS MATERIAL(ORGANIZATION)

Reading-Tutor’s materials are located in the filing next to the Project M.O.R.E. Headquarters

Materials are categorized by reading levels and are color coded to maintain the material order

PROJECT M.O.R.E. READING-TUTORS MATERIAL(ORGANIZATION)

In order to cut paper usage, the Reading-Tutor’s materials have been made into file folder games that can be recycled for each student. Student books continue to be copied for the students to take home and build their student libraries. In doing this, we have cut our paper usage by 80%.

PROJECT M.O.R.E. READING-TUTORS MATERIAL(ORGANIZATION)

Reading-Tutor’s materials are maintained by a student aide during non-session periods of the school day.

My student aide (Cara), is responsible for making sure at least 20 copies of each book are in the filing cabinet at all times. If books need to be made, the materials shown in the picture are available all day, everyday.

Cara also communicates when more duct tape and staples need to be purchased
