YReads Site Assistant

The YMCA READS! Assistant works at one of our local schools in Pensacola, Florida to help the YReads Site Coordinator during YMCA Reads! hours (12 to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday) to ensure that outlined program goals and procedures are being achieved. Additional responsibilities include: assisting in student supervision, helping to maintain order, and positively reinforcing "good choices" when appropriate, maintaining necessary paperwork, and assuming responsibilities if the coordinator is absent. YReads is a reading program that uses curriculum-based literacy instruction to help struggling reads in areas of phonetics, sight word recognition, spelling, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
