Book of Mormon Enrichment Program
The Book of Mormon Enrichment program is a one-on-one tutoring program designed to help missionaries study and understand the Book of Mormon better.

                                                We teach:                  
·         Phonics
·         Reading comprehension
·         Vocabulary
·         Reading Aloud 

Through a self-evaluation form and in-person assessment, we strive to identify all missionaries who are in need of our program.  However, we definitely need the help of you as a teacher to ensure that no one slips through the cracks.  Missionaries who exhibit the following may need our assistance:

             ü  Mispronounces words
             ü  Declines to read aloud
             ü  Does not know the meaning of words
             ü  Has difficulty understanding and applying what is read

Some information that will be helpful for you to know:

Wednesday is self-assessment day
      Please have your new missionaries complete the Self-Assessment forms and return the   completed         forms to our office (4M-215) on Wednesday afternoon.

Thursday is evaluation day 
      Our evaluators will take selected missionaries out of the classroom during study times to                         evaluate them. (Occasionally, we will need to pull them out during instruction time.     Thank you for       this inconvenience!)

Tutoring is ideally done during a missionary’s study time 
      If the need is particularly great, missionaries may also be tutored during class time, but we will                 contact you first.

Email is our primary means of communication with you as a teacher
      Please email us (finlinsonkl@mtc.byu.edu) if you have a missionary who would benefit from                 our program, or if you want a progress report on missionaries we are tutoring.  We will email    you if       we have missionaries with special needs.
