Resources for Literacy Providers
A Literacy Provider is any program offering free or low cost direct literacy services for children, adolescents and/or adults, including school tutoring programs, basic literacy, GED and ESOL.
Tutor Training
Cleveland Reads provides specialized tutor training sessions for literacy providers' volunteers.
Directory of Literacy Services for Greater Cleveland
Each year Cleveland Reads reaches out to and researches Greater Cleveland's literacy programs to obtain up-to-date information, which is used to publish a directory of local literacy services. The directory is intended to help service providers, agency, organizational, and institutional personnel refer potential learners and volunteers to the programs that best meet their needs and educational level. Furthermore, the directory facilitates networking and resource sharing among providers.
To obtain a copy of the Directory of Literacy Services call the Literacy Helpline at (216) 436-2222 or e-mail clevelandreads@uws.org

Tutor Integration Manual
Cleveland Reads developed the Tutor Integration Manual to serve as a step-by-step guide and provide insight to effectively integrate volunteer tutors into literacy agencies. The manual flows chronologically and includes helpful information on writing a tutor job description, supplying adequate training, matching tutors and learners, keeping records, and tips for tutor retention. The manual also includes several sample forms and documents to assist in the process.
