Side – by – Side

Side-by –Side is a literacy program started in January 2016 by members of CFUW at Cliff Drive School in Tsawwassen. We work one-on-one with readers who need, but do not receive, extra support. We share our love of reading and inspire students to improve their reading skills.

We work with levelled books. Each child is placed at level to begin through consultation with their teachers. It is easy and gratifying to help students progress through these levels. Teaching experience is not necessary. We act as surrogate parents/ grandparents. Each child has two 25 minute sessions per week, preferably, but not always, with the same tutor.
