Key ideas
Tutoring reading requires understanding HOW reading works — decoding, fluency, comprehension.
Knowing reading processes lets a tutor diagnose what a reader needs.
Strategies are the tools a tutor draws on to support a reader.
There are multiple approaches to teaching reading, each with strengths.
Examining approaches lets a tutor choose one suited to a reader.
Watch out for
- Assuming everyone reads the same way you do.
- Tutoring without understanding the reading process.
- Believing there is only one way to teach reading.

The official wording · 2 outcomes
- 3.1
- Tutors apply formative assessment strategies to support the reader. Tutors set goals, in consultation with the classroom teacher and/or the student, based on formative assessment
- 3.2
- Tutors adapt instruction to meet the developing needs and interests of the student.
Key ideas
Formative assessment gathers evidence OF a developing reader during learning to guide next steps.
A tutor sets goals in consultation with the classroom teacher and/or the student.
Goals are grounded in formative assessment evidence, not guesswork.
A developing reader's needs and interests change over time.
Adapting instruction responds to those changes, not a fixed plan.
Watch out for
- Confusing formative assessment with a final grade.
- Setting goals without consultation or evidence.
- Delivering the same instruction regardless of the reader.
