About the program
By providing tutors, referred to as interventionists, for preschools across Michigan, AmeriCorps members helps young learners improve their abilities to talk, read, write, sing, and play in order to develop early literacy and math skills. Our preschool tutoring jobs allow you to grow valuable teaching and communication skills as you work alongside a teacher in a classroom each day to help children build their skills and confidence.
As an Early Learning Corps interventionist, you’ll serve one preschool classroom to help each child become Kindergarten ready. In order to achieve this goal, you'll assist preschool teachers in implementing a literacy and math rich learning environment. You'll also provide scripted evidence-based literacy interventions in small groups or one-on-one. These interventions focus on rhyming, alliteration, letter sounds, letter names and picture naming (vocabulary). To ensure your success, you'll receive ongoing training and coaching throughout the school year.
