Abstract

Sycamore Readers is an after school tutoring program that serves struggling elementary students from local schools. It is housed at the local library in their Lifelong Learning Center. The program has positively impacted the library, the community, the parents, the tutors, and the students who are tutored. The biggest impact on students has been an increase in their BRI reading levels and their attitudes toward reading.
