Tutor Resources
Welcome to our Tutor-Made Resource Library!
​
Under each heading, we've added related resources that other tutors here at the Reading People have created and used in their own lessons and wanted to share with other tutors! Whether you want to use their creation for a lesson yourself or gather some inspiration for a new lesson of your own, you'll find some tried and true tutoring materials below. You can also download materials and edit them to fit your specific needs.
