Seeking Adult Literacy Tutors

 

Adult Literacy Tutors Needed

Volunteers are needed to tutor adults in one-on-one or small group settings. Literacy tutors teach reading, writing, numeracy or computer skills. Strong English speaking and writing skills are required. We are seeking individuals who are patient and empathetic towards adults learning to upgrade their literacy skills. A 12 hour training session is provided to teach tutoring techniques for teaching adults. Ongoing training is offered. Please click here for the Volunteer tutor job description and here for a volunteer application.

Our next training session is February 18th and 25th  from 9:30-4:00 pm in Kitchener. If you are interested, please call Joyce 519-743-6090 or Tanya 519-621-7993.

Family Literacy Day is January 27th

 

Family Literacy Day® is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually on January 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.  Taking time every day to read or do a learning activity with children is crucial to a child’s development. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically, and can help a parent improve their skills as well.
