 Hi, my name is William Melides and I'm the Learning Differences Librarian for San Francisco Public Library and I'm also the coordinator for the Fogg Readers Program. Fogg Readers is the library's award-winning reading intervention program for struggling readers in grades one through four. It's based on the Orton-Gillingham Ethology, which breaks down reading and spelling into smaller skills involving letters and sounds. It's sequential, it's structured, and it uses multi-sensory techniques to help students build a foundation for tackling reading. I not only love this program because it holds such personal significance for me, but also because as a former Fogg tutor, I was able to witness the impact it can make for students and their families who need a program like this. Many students who sign up face challenges with reading, and this program not only offers them an opportunity to catch up, but also offers them the best chance to succeed, especially when this kind of support is often out of financial reach for a lot of families. When I was a Fogg tutor, the best part of this experience was of course seeing my student improve in his reading skills, but what really took me by surprise was seeing how much that improvement was able to build up his self-confidence and his self-esteem. And being part of his reading journey and watching him grow into an individual was nothing short of amazing. If you're looking to create a positive and lasting impact with students in your community, we're looking for tutors now. And as a Fogg tutor, you'll have a chance to make a difference in a child's life by helping them develop the essential reading skills and foster a love for reading. Anyone ages 50 and up can become a tutor. We hold bimonthly trainings both online and in person, where we go over the curriculum and practice techniques to help you become a successful tutor.
