Become a R.E.A.L. Mentor! Our school district is pleased to announce the launch of an exciting mentorship program called Scholastic R.E.A.L.—Read. Excel. Achieve. Lead. This program is designed to deepen literacy and to instill a love of reading in our students through mentors who share an hour of their time per visit. By reading aloud and talking with students, people like you help build reading excitement and community connections in our schools! As a R.E.A.L. mentor, you will be given everything you need for impactful read-alouds. On R.E.A.L. Reading Days, you'll have your own group that you visit—and on each visit, you'll read and discuss one book, which will be provided to you in advance. You'll follow a Mentor Guide with speci c instructions on what to read and questions to ask to engage students. You will also receive a schedule of your reading dates and a Mentor Success Guide with useful tips and information from other R.E.A.L. mentors.
