The Everyone Reading Summer Tutoring Program will take place Monday through Friday from July 8 through August 1. Each selected student will receive 50 minutes of one-to-one tutoring daily, using Wilson Language Program Level I materials and methodology.

To qualify for the program, students must:

– Be entering grades 2-12
