Literacy Connection
Can You Volunteer?
Can you commit one hour, once a week, for a
year? The Library Literacy Connection is looking for curious, flexible
individuals to work one-on-one with adults who want to improve their
reading skills.Each learner is in a program that is tailored to his/her
specific needs, and that we have a wide variety of materials to help
learners and tutors to do this. We also have a book of learner and tutor
interviews entitled: "Me Too:
Adults Talk About Learning to Read."Prospective tutors or anyone
else may pick up a copy at the Literacy office - it can help fill in
the picture of what it would be like to help teach an adult to read.
We'll train and support you through:
- Two introductory training sessions,
- Continuous tutor training, on-the-job, as we go.
The Library Literacy Connection stays updated and
has good
support materials. encourages innovative techniques,
since traditional methods have failed many of our learners.
matches compatible tutors and learners.
