2TR: COMPETENT READING TUTORS

Company matches English majors
with ‘tearning disabled’ students

A READING tutor program
developed six years ago by
an Ontario high school
teacher is now available
locally through North
Shore-based
2TR:Competent Reading
Tutors.

Don Jones, an English teacher
at Kenner Collegiate Vocational
Institute in Peterborough Ontario,
originally developed reading pro-
grams to help students who he
found were reading at a Grade 5
level in high school.

Said Jones: ‘‘I started dealing
with learning disabled-labelled
kids. I knew that I couldn’t max-

briefcase
Michael Becker

imize their potentials because they
needed one-on-one education.’’

Jones refined his approach to
teading education by incorporating
& peer tutoring method. He went
on to train advanced-level academ-
ic students who received credits for
becoming reading specialists. The
peer teachers instruct one-on-one
for 40 minutes a day.

Nine Ontario schoo! boards have
bought into the program. Jones
says that when he began the pro-
cess of marrying the skills of his
enriched English students with the
needs of his ‘learning disabled’*
students, he had no intention of
parlaying the venture into a
business.
