Adult Literacy Program Volunteer
Opportunities For This Program |
Did you see him during the rhythm of your day? Did you see the gentleman walking slowly in the parking lot? He had a life long passion for reading. Last year he had a stroke. Now he’s learning to read again in our Adult Reading Program.
|
| We teach basic reading, math, & writing skills
to adults who read on a zero-to-sixth grade level. Instruction is
provided by trained volunteer tutors who primarily use the Laubach
phonics-based materials.
Students and tutors work 1:1 to help learners reach their individual goals. We’ve seen victims of strokes learn to read again, mothers who have raised their children and put them through college without being able to read themselves have finally found the gift of reading. Students reach their goals and some even become tutors! The literacy center is a wonderful place, containing a library, computer lab, learning room for students and tutors, and a coffee pot is always on to welcome you for a visit. “Learnin’ to read opened doors
to a new life…I learned to read my mail. Learnin’ to
read, gave me confidence in life.”
